When identifying the right mainboard for a project, we generally help our customers "choose wisely." Intel certainly isn't the only solution, nor always the best solution. But, we like having that option to choose. And, like you, I hope we still keep that option to choose. Hi Peter,

This is to keep Intel honest, and give us both reasonable prices and better technology. VIA should provide some very keen and interesting competition due to the fact that Atom is an in order processor and Isaiha is an out of order processor, but with a slightly higher power usage. This should provide different performance depending on what applications/protocols are being used, so one should "Choose wisely".

Yeah, I think a lot of people were a little reluctant to move over to the Little Valley as a long-term desktop solution. I am hoping that the Little Falls offers more options and longevity. The Little Valley hasn't even been on the market for more than a year and we are already in the third revision! As for price, I keep reading contrasting views. Some sites are saying to expect a price tag around $130 or so (for the board) and some are expecting a price tag much higher. I guess we can only wait and see! Hi Sal,

I have been following the Diamondville and Menlow news for awhile now (well, all Intel news I guess...), but I had not given much thought to Atom on the desktop. I've been really happy with my Core 2 Duo MoDT system (T5600) and I, sadly, never picked up a Little Valley system because it did not have the power and I/O was I looking for. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Little Falls. Is it possible that we will be seeing another sub-$100 price tag? Nice post!
