Hi, I am building my first atom based system and have a couple of questions.
I want to use this as a desktop system. I will add one 2.5 laptop drive and have maybe a few usb peripherals attached.
I am planning on using this mobo + cpu combo from newegg:
Mobo + cpu combo
I settled on this board because it has the D525 Atom which is dual core and I believe the most powerful atom currently. Also, it uses ddr2 memory (I have extra).
So for my questions:
1) What type of power supply will I need? LIke I mentioned I want to add 1 drive and a few usb powered devices and hook it up to a monitor.
Would this power supply work and give me enough juice?:
Power Supply
2) Can I use my ddr2 667 dimms instead of ddr2 800 on this mobo? Will just run at the slower 667 speed or will it damage the mobo or memory?
3) If I am correct, I can use the hard drive and memory I already have. So can I just buy this mobo+cpu combo + power supply + case and be good to go. So I need some recommendations on the case? Don't need anything fancy just something with good ventilation.
Thanks, any thoughts/recommendations of why I should/shouldn't use this mobo would be appreciated.
