Hi guys, I think the geode+ddr that you are referring to is the AMD Geode GX2. It's being sold in India (typically together with broadband packages) as the basis for a low cost computer called the AMD PIC. It's priced at USD$185 without a monitor and has DDR330 128MB RAM, 10GB hdd, audio, [EMAIL PROTECTED] video. It's a 400MHz part, the GX533 label, I think comes from it's "equivalent performance" measurement.
I have been thinking about getting the AMD-PIC at some point to port linux on to it. Currently, they're being sold with Windows CE on it. Apparently, it has a gensys bios on it that only loads "signed" OSes. I did notice that Linspire announced that they have a Linux port for it so that's a step in the right direction. I'm not sure about VIA but I believe Tyan is making a low cost integrated board for this Geode GX2 cpu as well. I'm hoping their price will be less than USD$100 after adding the hdd, ram, etc. :-) Ramesh --- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > so I can get a board from AMD with geode+ddr?
