[Mep-dev] Which Atom boards?

[Bob McGwier]

The ATOM 330 is capable of doing 64 bit OS's but only in the D945GCLF2 
model.  Both are fine.  Like Michelle I have multiples.  I built two 
home computers for email and checking (Quicken that run winblows and 
those are D945GCLF and run winblows 32 or ubuntu.  Shann really loves 
the little cases.  I have two D945GCLF2's.  They dual boot XP64 and 
ubuntu 64.  The procedure to do the BIOS update is straightforward, but 
NOT usual.

Go to the intel site.  Download the ISO and burn it onto a disk.  Boot 
form the disk and answer the on screen questions.  LEAVE THE DISK IN CD 
ROM DRIVE and reboot.  ONLY THEN is the image taken off the CD rom and 
flashed.  After the second pass, you may remove it and then boot.

These are fun and capable and we need low power and low footprint since 
all of the heavy lifting will be done by the FPGA anyway.  They have 
GigE and decent support for it.

More to follow.  Now we can support the fight between Intel and ARM 
internally within our group!
