I just put a Biostar NM70I-1037U into service as a hub and RTCM host (no USB). 

It couldn’t read the CDROM until turning on AHCI. No install problems other than that.

These have a Celeron which run at a higher CPU voltage than the ATOM. Someone said they think the higher CPU voltage is less susceptible to RF crashing the system. Requires a CPU fan and a higher power PS than the ATOM.

It’s looking like a pretty good choice in the speed department:

I also have about a dozen D2500HN genuine Intel boards running. I find them to be very reliable as I have never had to replace one yet.
I stuff in 2G RAM and couple a 16 GB SSD to them.

Tastes great - less filling.

I agree with your recommendation.  I have 8 D2500HN some have
4 radios attached.  Each board has the Intel logo not the MITAC logo.

   Tim,
 I've had success running the Intel D2500HN
 board with Linux.  Here is a link to a few mini ITX boards
 that should all work with Linux:

 What’s a good motherboard/CPU combo for Linux these days?
