AsRock Builds A New ION+Atom Mini-ITX Motherboard
AsRock has recently revealed a mini-ITX motherboard built with the current generation of Atom processor and the NVIDIA ION platform – AsRock A330ION.
The A330ION features the dual-core Atom 330 processor running at 1.6GHz, plus the NVIDIA ION chipset, supporting dual-channel DDR3-1066 memory. It also packs a PCIe x16 slot, two eSATA connections, four SATA 3.0Gbps and VGA/HDMI/DVI ports, as well as gigabit ethernet and 7.1 audio channel.
The board will be available right after CES, though the pricing has yet to be confirmed.

Looks very good, especially that PCI-e 16x 2.0-slot. This board actually is very useful, in contrary to the Atomboards with only a regular PCI-slot. With this board you can create a very handsome LAN-box or a modest server with an extra SATA-controller in the PCIe slot. I like it. I hope the price is under 100 bucks.
