ITX motherboards have been around for long time now. The problem is, they’ve been so far behind in technology and with such high price tags it makes them an option not even worth considering. However, with the release of the Intel Atom processor, a ser...
Bottom line The Zotac ION A-Series motherboard is a great bundle to be had. It performed well in all the tests and even proved itself to play full HD clips easily. This would therefore make it an ideal choice to be used in a HTPC.Coupled with 2GB of RAM the Zotac...

Oooh, people like it. I must admit that Zotac did an excellent job on the world’s first mini-ITX Atom/Ion motherboard. The product is interesting enough to warrant a follow-up, answering some of your questions that I didn’t address in the original rev...
