The architectures between desktop and mobile are too different (e.g. You could put them in socket 478 with an adapter. I believe this was possible with Mobile Pentium 4 chips. > but might it be possible to put a laptop CPU into a server motherboard? I also haven't had any problems with RealTek cards. > What models do you find work best for this?Īny Intel NIC is usually very reliable. So you end up with something far better than the ARM/MIPS they sell on Amazon for the same price. You can buy 802.11ac cards for around $80 which work with Linux. They're also great to replace the wireless card if you want to make a professional grade WiFi AP. None of the VMs I run are really network heavy (except when booting from a Zyxel NAS I turned into an iSCSI SAN), so having them share a 1GBit link isn't an issue. Me personally, I just use a managed switch which supports VLANs. I have also seen dual gigabit mini PCIe cards available for around $50. You can get ExpressCard gigabit NICs for a reasonable sum. > Is there a way to add an extra NIC card? I bought a bunch of 8GB DDR3 SODIMMs for cheap. More about the Gigabyte board on my blog:
A fully equipped Gigabyte w/32 GB of RAM and an SDD will set you back US$1000+, but you're getting a real server for that money. The cost of this is significant - a fully equipped AMD Cello (with case, RAM, SDD, etc) is going to be US$600. They also conform to the SBSA/SBBR standard so you can boot RHEL and (in the near future) Windows on them. However boards like the AMD Cello, the Gigabyte MP30-AR0, the Huskyboard, have server chips in them, external DIMMs (the Gigabyte takes up to 128GB of RAM), real SATA, PCIe slots, multiple ethernet (Gigabyte has 5 x ethernet, 2 running at 10Gbps), IPMI and so on.
OPENELEC CPUINFO ANDROID
The former boards are essentially Android phone/tablet chips with the minimal amount of support circuitry to put them on a development board, and the result is of course very cheap, owing to the sheer volume of Android chips being sold. There are a lot of differences between Odroid/Dragonboard and the AMD A1100-based Cello.
