First M10000s not Nehemiah based
Posted on February 18, 2003
The long awaited EPIA M10000 has apparently reached some US online stores, but not in the form expected. The C3 powering them has the Ezra-T core as found in the EPIA M9000, not the newer Nehemiah core as initially advertised (retailers have since changed their specifications). The FSB runs at 100Mhz, and not 133Mhz - and LVDS support does not appear to be present . Cooling is improved with a double North/Southbridge heatsink and meatier CPU heatsink. It looks like VIA hit manufacturing delays with the Nehemiah and decided to quietly release a M10000 anyway, with an "M10000-II" (our name, not theirs) to follow later, with more fanfare. We'll wait for the real one...
Oh well guess I'll have to wait for the next-gen

Pssst....

possibly with the appropriate modifications.......
I have access to these machines from my suppliers but they are too expensive even at my level. Cheapest configuration I can buy .. my cost..$1536.00 Canadian before taxes. That being said...you guy's down in the states or even better yet over in the Orient might find this system at a much lesser price. The obvious mods would be to rid it of a backlight and relocate the optical drive.
What do you guys think...will this machine "earn" it's own thread ?

Sorry to say no header just the solder pad.
I know it doesn't have the Nehemiah core, but don't expect the new core do be a big difference, I mean all the basic stuff you can do now, if your waiting for something that will play games, look elseware it just can't do it, there designing these to be more or less appliances.

PVR test
got home today and installed my i/o tuner/capture card and cyberlink PVR software, still only 256mb ram and old, old 5gig HD, tuned in a station and got a very choppy picture (about .5/fps), I tried with and without overlay no difference, hit record anyway, set for mpeg1 and 1/2 resolution, played back ... dissapointment, decided to try recording with mpeg2 and 1/2 resolution, expection worse, but low and behold it played back perfectly, I thought might as well try at 640x480, again played back perfectly, tired at full 720x480...need more memory, started to get blocky on fast movment, I could probably lower the bit rate and get better but seeing as I'll be playing it back on a computer monitor anyway 640x480 works for me, (still have to figure out the overlay).
Next stop DIVX!
