Asus C8HM70-I/HDMI Dual Core Celeron 847 Mini-ITX Review

The C8HM70-I/HDMI offers great value for money with a highly efficient Dual Core Sandy Bridge ULV Celeron processor. The Integrated Graphics processor is based on the Intel HD2000 DirectX 10 IGP with full 64-bit driver support. The Intel NM70 chipset delivers SATA 6Gb/s and supports up to 16GB of memory. The 1.1Ghz Celeron 847 processor supports Intel virtualisation extensions (VT-x) and benchmarks over 50% faster than an Atom D2550. This board also has a PCI Express slot, a rarity amongst most Atom/Celeron boards.
