Zacate showing up more on Newegg

[BeepBeep2]

hhhmmm will this be faster then a sempron 140 and a 790 GX board ?

Single thread, no
Multi thread, yes

GPU wise, 80 @ 550 vs 40 @ I believe 850, ...this wins

The Asus model is Passive, not ITX, but still

Actually, there is a mini-ITX version: the ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe.



It looks fantastic: passive cooling, 5 SATA + 1 eSATA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB3 and SATA6. I pre-ordered it (in France), if all goes well, it should be serving files and downloading 24/7 within 2 weeks...

Yeah i seen that mobo looks quite good, Cant find any info on the audio though, does it support full dolby digital + DTS ??

All I could find on the product page is:

ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
Supports DTS Surround Sensation Ultra-PC
* Use a chassis with HD audio module in the front panel to support an 8-channel audio output.

I don't know if that qualifies as proper DTS decoding capability.

[Johnny87au]

Hmm hopefully a review should be released soon, And hope it supports dolby.. as it's my main need for a htpc..

[WhiteFireDragon]

You have to remember, there were lots of performance slides and stuff showing Zacate having much better GPU power than an atom + ion setup, but the cpu power was less than atom.

ah maybe that's the reason why it seems more sluggish if the CPU tasks had lower performance than atom. which specific slides did you get this test info? when i open any programs, like firefox, or word/excel, it launches up noticeably slower than my atom D525 platform

hmmm not to hot of a newegg review but its also a newegg review...

lol if you didnt notice, that one and only review so far of this board is my review

I don't think it is clock speed. What version of Flash you running? Driver maturity may also take care of some issues also. The only review I have read so far showed Zacate doing rather well.

i was using the newest 10.2 flash version, still had unbearable youtube lag

@WhiteFireDragon
I don't know about the other motherboards, but reviews for the ASUS E35M1-I are coming, though slowly :

• One by KitGuru
• One by Sweclockers, with video (translated from Swedish)

[MikeMurphy]

Any word on zacate nettop configurations? ie. Revo form factor?

Mini ITX isn't small enough for you?

[WhiteFireDragon]

well i finally found out the reason for the sluggishness and youtube stuttering. the problem lies in the OS and or drivers. in my WHS box (which is based off of XP 32bit server 2003), everything was laggy and youtube stuttered. i reinstalled everything with win7 64bit and everything was butter smooth, including 1080p full screen youtube videos. so i think the problem is driver maturity/support, unless anyone else has a solution for this?

Whitedragon hows 1080p bluray playback using powerDvD for example ?? 1080@ 60hz..??

[BeepBeep2]

Whitedragon hows 1080p bluray playback using powerDvD for example ?? 1080@ 60hz..??

BluRay are 1080p at 24hz.

[Johnny87au]

Yeah thats what i thought but i swear my 3d plasma tv supports 1080@60hz..

knew that sounded oddball i can play 1080P youtube fullscreen on my netbook with an athlon l110@1.6ghz and X1270 128mb GDDR3.

so does my projector doesn't mean blu ray outputs it.

[BeepBeep2]

360p is all I will get out of my Atom netbook

stupid intel GMA...

Did you see TechReports review? They showed a much different story
Maybe is is IE9 that makes the difference and the Special 10.2 flash... not sure.

Edit: Overall, the Zacate out performed the Atom D525 in that review.

Well generally when you playback a 1080 bluray it changes from 60hz to 24hz @ 1080p, the thing is it changes on my ps3 but doesnt change on my main 3dtv..

I missed this post
Didn't realize you were not running Win 7, I just asumed.
Glad things are better now.

[jeremyshaw]

The source content will be at 24hz, and your TV should automatically switch into 24hz, or else you would need 3:2 pulldown det. or something strange.

[The Coolest]

Well generally when you playback a 1080 bluray it changes from 60hz to 24hz @ 1080p, the thing is it changes on my ps3 but doesnt change on my main 3dtv..

There are software, like MPCHC which will adjust the screen refresh rate to 24Hz when you watch a movie that's 24FPS.
Otherwise it works just as on any PC, at 60Hz.
The problem the review mentioned was a very specific format where the video itself was 60FPS.
All of the common content like 1080P BluRays and other H264 content play fine, even 1080i@60FPS played fine.
I suggest you reread the review a bit more carefully and you'll see that the only problematic format which they found was negligible.

The Asus model is Passive, not ITX, but still

ASUS one is ITX too

They have MSI , Gigabyte , ASUS , ASRock ITX in stock now at local store in Hong Kong

Reference pricing , all unit in HK Dollar ( 1 USD = HKD $7.78 )
E-350 ITX board

ASUS ITX ( Fanless ) - $ 1530
Gigabyte - $ 1330
MSI - $ 1290
ASRock - $ 899

ASRock E-350 is the cheapest one , but without USB 3.0
Gigabyte / MSI / ASUS got USB 3.0
So it depends on if you really need USB 3.0

Personally I would like to grab Gigabyte one

Well I switch back to nVIDIA after lack of stable driver support with my HD6870 with Windows XP ( Tried 10.10 Hotfix , 10.12 not work , BSoD when playback YouTube HD , blocky screen when scrolling the browser )

After I switched to GTX560 Ti , WinXP work normally without issue

I see that they have one now. But the one on NewEgg.com was a Micro ATX.
I am trying to decide which one I want to try. I like the Asus right now.

Output to the monitor is 1080p @ 60hz.

A Blu-Ray runs at 24 fps at 1080p, though 1080i allows up to 60 fps.

Damn gma is bad I can play 360p using my phone lol
