Has anyone tried setting up one of the new Via VT-310DP dual cpu
mini-itx motherboards as a small, low-power, quiet server for a portable
workgroup? While its dual 1000mHz C3 processors could not compete with
a dual Xeon or Opteron server, it could be installed in a small case and
used to support basic office functions for a group of four or five.
With addition of a four-port pci NIC, it would not even need a
switch--just bridge the four ethernet ports into one br0, add clients
and you are good to go.
It would make a dandy demo system to take on the road, all in a package
the size of a thin client.
