Intel seeks new 'microserver' standard

Why bother with a new standard?What Intel needs to do is use the pre-existing motherboard form factors like Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Why can't they just design a board in the Mini-ITX form factor for a single-socket Xeon 3400-series processor with ECC RAM and dual-GBe ports with the standard fare...

Asus Eee Top ET2002

Nvidia wants us to tell you that its GeForce 9400M graphics chip, aka Nvidia's Ion technology, pulls Asus' Eee Top ET2002 up from the depths of Nettop misery by imparting it with better-than-terrible graphics and video processing. We agree that the 9400 chip improves the ET2002's visual chops, but a...

If we to adopt a relativist approach and consider Nettops apart from the larger desktop market, we might actually recommend the $549 Lenovo C300. It includes an uncommonly large 20-inch wide-screen display and performs better than many of its peers because of a slightly faster Intel Atom CPU. Standing in...
