RE: Break-in report: Atom + Juli@ analog is stunning for the price

Intel's D520MO mobo doesn't provide a P4 connector - you may want to try either ASUS or Gigabyte options which offers a P4. Annoying thing about Asus is its limited BIOS options, similarly, GB does a stupid thing by adding another SATA chip (to provide 4 SATA ports as Intel's NM10 chipset only does 2). Importance of P4 is dicussed here.

Overall these mobos will yield excellent results - you'll get better results with a P4 connector as this allows moving the CPU to the dirty side. For the Asus option you could use Crystal CPU ID to set lower freq and voltage.
