According to the ark (Intel) of the 14 available itel atom options the only two that support 64-bit are the 230 and the 330. I have two machines with the 330 in them, yet i have not had a chance to test any 64-bit software on them. I trust that intel didn't put any misleading specifications on their website though. I would say though that the 330 would definitely be a better fit for server, you're pr0bably going to want the dual core.
Hi msr, So is the Atom 230. I've been running Windows 7 64-Bit on it, since the RC release. And tested out Server2008 R2 RC before upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit RTM.
Cheers people, it was just that i saw reviews elsewhere stating, that people had problems running 64bit windows on the 230. thx for advice.
But 230 is a VERY weak processor, not recommended. 330 on the other hand coupled with enough memory is pretty workable solution sebus
It's not going to be very fast with that small amount of memory, you can get 4gb now for cheap. I am on Server 2008 R2 right now and it's fast with 8gb
Yep i tried it out r2 with 4gb and it was stuttery on mine. Do i really need r2 or can i do my file server with windows 2008 standard server, the last release? What benefits are there in r2, over last release?
Supposed to be more stable, personally I like Server 2008 over R2 for right now, but have to get used to new things. I haven't seen any speed benefits on my computer yet. Right now you can stick with regular Server 2008, it's all about preference.
