So I just love messing around with new hardware to see what its like and was really curious to see how the dual core atom stacked up against the single core.

I just ordered the following parts:

1 x Apex MI-008 MINI-ITX Case Glossy Black 1X5.25 1X3.5 1X3.5INT Sfx 250W Front Audio USB

1 x Intel BOXD945GCLF2 MINI-ITX DDR2 945GC Dual Core Atom 1PCI Motherboard Retail

1 x G.SKILL F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK PC2-6400 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-12 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit

Sparkle Geforce 8500GT 256MB PCI http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3422142&CatId=319

I realize the ram is complete overkill however i'll be reusing it for a future build.
Just stumbled onto the 8500GT PCI card. Now after gaming with my N10J with a 9300M GS i'm not expecting any miracles. I'm sure that the 8500GT will be a bit faster than the 9300. I'll also be keep the 8500 for a future itx build with the Jetway GF8200 board.

i've got my notebook tweaked enough that I can mutitask with it quite efficiently (The secret was to disable flash, it really whores the cpu cycles on the Atom). I"m using it to run my dual 24" samsung lcd's.

Does anyone else have the Atom 330 setup running, just wondering what kind of performance I can be expecting.
 
That RAM probably won't work. Intel boards usually like for you to stick to JEDEC specs (1.8v) unless you get one of their gaming boards. I've had problems with this in the past.
 
i have an eee pc 901 which is the single core with HT and i love it, but that is the same as your notebook
 
If the ram doesn't work i'm sure i have some older stuff laying around, I had some corsair PC2-6400 that worked at 533mhz without any tweaking, just have to wait and see.

I should also mention the motherboard and case only came to $60 + shipping, go ncix pricing errors:D

I suppose you are using only one 2GB stick...because that mobo only have one slot for memory.
 
the ram will work i used gskill pc2-8000 (1000mhz) 2.1V memory and it worked just fine on my intel atom system
