Specifications

We'll take both the CPU's and mainboard's specifications from VIA's 'site. We'll then delve in what makes the EPIA M10000 click.

Firstly, the EPIA-M motherboard

And now the new, improved Nehemiah CPU.

I've purposely left out a BIOS section due to a lack of interesting aspects to report. The CPU runs off a standard 133FSB (7.5x). There are no overlocking options present in the EPIA's BIOS. Memory timings can be adjusted to a small degree, though. The very fact that it's not a performance CPU almost negates the need to tune the BIOS. The only quirk we found was the consistent locking of BIOS when we tried to toggle the output display selection. A new BIOS release should fix this small error.
