[ 16.402549] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
Unplugging the 80GB and running Ubuntu Live CD lowers the wattage to 34, so the HDD uses half of your estimate.
Its currently running off a 420W. My final build (its a work in progress NAS) will use a 300W since I'm trying to just use parts I already have... I have a 230W Powmax PSU but I don't trust that brand with my primary storage HDDs.
Have you guys successfully installed linux to a flash drive on the D945GCLF2? I keep getting errors such asafter rebooting from the installation. This probably has less of a relation to Intel or the Atom CPU though.Code:[ 16.402549] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
The atom does have speedstep. My wind will do 6-12x133 depending on load. Depending on load/screen brightness powerdraw can range from ~7-15w if not charging the battery.
Western Digital 3.5" 80GB 7200RPM 8MB cacheIs this a 3.5 inch desktop drive or a 2.5 inch laptop drive?
Actually, I remembered I had a 145W from a really old Gateway (2000) that powered a Pentium Pro. Trying that got me 31W or so with nothing but a 2GB stick of RAM and a 16GB flash drive booted into Ubuntu. No optical or HDD. Not that great of a drop from 34W considering the optical drive was removed as well.I would try the 230W one and see if it makes a difference.
Well I got it to install on a 16GB flash drive, I'm going to guess that the 4GB flash drive is flawed in some way.I use linux 50/50 with windows (home and work) but I have not experienced this problem in a very long time. I will try to think about it.
The Atoms in netbooks have the same specs as the Atoms in nettops. The perceived half TDP and cache are due to comparing a netbook's single core Atom with the Atom 330 dual core available for the nettop only.The atom in your wind is not the same as the one in the desktops. Off the top of my head from when I looked at them the other month the one in your wind has half the cache and half the TDP of the desktop version. I am not sure how else they differ if at all.
I also recall an atom platform that came with software for overclocking the FSB. So along with the possibility of speed step you also may be able to lower or increase the FSB with software.

EDIT:
Tried the
300W and got 38W...
350W and got 39W...
230W and got 45W...
LOL Nothing makes sense in this world! These are all idle usages at the desktop in Ubuntu.
Why is there a voltage range if it doesn't change clock speed?
Speedstep isn't the only power saving feature. Even without multiplier changes, the CPU can still run in different power modes, full speed (C0) and auto-halt (C1). Sleep and deep sleep are available for control through the chipset (Table 14). http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/319977.pdf see section 2.The possibility of modifying the FSB sounds real nice . I find it strange that while the Atom 330 has no SpeedStep, it has a Vcore range of 0.9-1.162V...

Intel was thinking by including the ATX12V plug. There is no way the 8W max Atom 330 needs two 12V wires feeding it power.
I bought the board knowing that. I'm not going to wait around for half a year or more so I chose to go for this thing.. EVEN after I read that the 945GC has a TDP of 22.2W which doesn't match the CPU at all. It's still a neat device.The power consumption you see on your Atom is the reason why I haven't moved to one yet. The 945GC based boards are pretty inefficient.
I'm waiting for a system on a chip Atoms coming next year.
Yes I've tried, it will not POST. Watt consumption in this state indicate that the CPU isn't even being powered. Once I have access to a soldering iron and related items, I'm going to just solder wires to the bottom of the board, connecting the ATX12V pins to GND and 12V pins at the ATX connector.Agreed. Have you tried booting with nothing connected to this plug?
Yes it pretty much matches my P4 HT 3GHz Prescott performance, although a little slower.. Considering the Atom 330 is a dual core and the 200MHz (1.6GHz * 2) advantage would make up for the slight multithreaded performance loss, that would put it at about the same performance per clock as the Pentium 4s. Not too surprising since it had be compatible with the Pentium 4 chipset it uses.Interestingly enough, with 4 logical threads (2 cores + HyperThreading), it manages to run the Paint.NET benchmark (PdnBench) about as fast as a Pentium 4 3.0GHz "E" Prescott (1 core + HyperThreading). And that sucker was melting motherboards back when it first came out!
