Hello DLP, The DT166's mainboard is like the nano-itx people are waiting for with a low voltage CPU, the via 533 you were talking about. Here are a copy of a precedent post and answer about that : ---- >Hi all > >I finally buy it and started a review for a website friends and I are >about to open...
