iLeader Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 So... is anyone planning on installing Tiger x86 on a Mini ITX system, or has done so? If you don't know what mini itx is check out http://www.mini-itx.com/ I personally can't wait to see what people start putting Mac OS X on. Maybe in a few days we'll see a waffle iron Mac.

dogbert Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 EPIA CPUs lack both SSE2 and SSE3 and are therefore quite unusable. there are some mini-itx for normal P4s, but they can't be fitted into a small case due to the bad heat dissipation of such a small case. there are low power versions of the pentium 4 out there, but they don't support SSE3. Next in size are micro-atx boards for the pentium m. the pentium Ms with 2MB cache can run SSE2 and SSE3 code, so that would be the obvious choice for a small system, even though it's not gonna be cheap.

SSE2 is the highest supported currently by the Shelton core. Details here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=928961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrock Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm running the next best thing to a mini-ITX, a Shuttle.. Works fine under OSX, it's the SB61G2v3. Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
