Intel D945GCLF2 Dual Core Mini-ITX Carputer Motherboard | 2008-10-03 | |
| The Intel D945GCLF2, based on the Intel Atom, is finally released. One of the key features that caught the author's eye was the dual core Atom processor. Not only is it dual core, but its power usage is outstanding. It's estimated to use 4 watts under load while consuming milliwatts (thousandths of a watt) when idle. Being in a carputer, power consumption is a vital specification because one needs to figure out how large of a power supply one will need. The power consumption spec can also give one an idea of how much heat will be disappated, because after all, the power not used for computing will dissipate into heat.

Motherboard Buying Tips | 2000-01-01 | Motherboards.org |
| No matter what happens with the technology involved, there is always one problem that plagues the DIY system builder: choices. Since we, the power builders, are usually building for exactly that reason, it's ironic that it is also our main problem. The first and largest problem that we have to deal with is what CPU we are going to use. This dictates the next question that we are going to be faced with, which is what motherboard is we going to mount the CPU and all of the other components to? After years of helping people choose motherboards, there are a few simple lessons that I've learned.
