VIA's New Nehemiah M10000 Processor Reviewed 265
Joseph Wharton writes "Mini-ITX.com has a review of VIA's new Nehemiah M10000 EPIA-M motherboard and processor. Some of the new features include a full-speed floating-point unit (finally!), SSE instructions, 64KB of full-speed L2 cache, and (get this) a hardware-based random number generator. Also, there's IO/APIC support in these new procs, potentially paving the way for dual EPIA boards."

Having all my music on-line and ready to be played on any PC in the house is pretty nice.

IIRC a lot of "next-gen" DVD players will be using these mainboards, and they've started putting things like hardware mpeg decoding/etc. into them. They're ideal for digital jukebox/emulator/dvd player/pvr combo systems.

The mini-itx stuff is all about power consumption or lack thereof and low noise solutions.
Why do you think I don't compare my shitty little commuter car to a bloody ferrari.
Very insightful first post.

The two aren't comparable. Different targets.

Because you don't know much about semiconductors?
Analog noise generators simply amplify the noise from a lowly diode. It is an old trick.

Also, terms like "Christianity" and "Judaism" have meaning, and while Christians believe in the Biblical books used by the Jews, they're Jewish books, and we're the latecomers here.
