Default Intel D510 Atom cpu

I'm looking to build a really small inexpensive email and web browsing box
for my brother, an autistic person who lives a very small room in my sisters
house.

The D510 looks like it might fit the bill. I like a lot of things about this
processor and a small netbox should be easy to cobble together to fit his
needs from it. I'm a little confused about the specs, however. The clock
speed is 1.66 Ghz, the bus type is 'DMI', but no system bus speed is listed.
Anyone know what DMI stands for?

Thanks,
Jon

Direct Media Interface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Media_Interface
After Core2 Intel has done away with the FSB and now has the memory
controller on the CPU. Like HyperTransport on AMD DMI is used to connect
the CPU to the chipset. The since memory data is no longer transfered over
it it doesn't need to be as fast as the FSB. The intergrated GFX is on
package and the PCIe controller for GFX cards is part of the CPU which just
leaves SATA,USB,LAN, and few PCIe 1.1 ports.

Thanks Jim, That makes perfect sense. Seems a much simpler and more elegant
design as well.

Unless really low power or fanless operation is a requirement, one of the i3- or
i5- CPUs with integrated graphics might be suitable, and more capable. You can
get boards in micro-ATX and micro-ITX formats, and it opens another set of options.

If running Windows apps is not a requirement, a bare bones machine with Linux
would suit nicely for what you describe, and should be a bit cheaper. Dell is
selling an ATOM netbook for $250, etc, etc.

Finally, newegg had some atom based system (complete) on sale for $200, looked
like a cigar box on end with an antenna sticking out the top. That might or
might not be useful, it came with Windows something.

The ATOM has enough power for what you want, might not be cost effective. Be
sure to have enough RAM, I think ATOM is limited to 2G.

If the D510 is capable enough, there's a big cost delta; about $300 for a
D510 system (not much less capable than the Celeron systems in the same
price range) vs. about $450 for the cheapest i3 system I can see building
(or more for a non BYO.)

Less, of course, for either if you can recycle disks and RAM, but even
there, you can get an entire barebones D510 system for the cost of just the
i3 CPU or

And, frankly, the D510 is fine for light duty Windows 7 or Vista web
browsing and email /if you have 2gb of memory/; I use my single-core netbook
(a N280, slightly slower per core, too) for that. On 1gb, I'd suggest
sticking with Linux.

That was definitely true of the 945-based N270/280 netbooks out there (the
Z520/530 are usually even more crippled!) but the 230/330 and D510 systems
can often handle 4gb in 2x 2gb dimms - it's best to look at the individual
motherboard or barebones box's specs.

I'd avoid the single-core 230-based systems for /anyone/, but the 330 or
D510 (both dual-core, albeit very slow dual cores) with 2gb is a decent
light duty desktop for a non-power-user.

Thanks Nate,
I too have an N280 notebook, the Asus H1005 (last years model with XP). I
sue this for vacations and travel for email and web browsing and it works
great. I upped the RAM to 2G, just because it was too cheep not too. :-)

My happy experience with the Asus is what sparked my interest in the D510.
It looks like to should fit the bill just right for my brother, and I get to
play with the technology putting it together. He has limited space so the
small form factor will be good and some of the parts are already sitting on
my bench.

If you're happy with the N280, you'll be happy with either the 330 or the
D510.

When you get this put together, please let us know how the particular
motherboard or barebones system you picked works out - there are a lot of
models, and probably a lot of us considering them.
