The ION BIOS
For a mini-ITX motherboard, the Zotac motherboard has quite a few BIOS options though you shouldn’t expect to be overclocking on this system…
System information shows us the 1.6 GHz Atom 330 processor and our 1792MB of system memory (after 256MB going to the integrated GPU).
If you want to you can attempt to overclock the CPU by pushing the front-side bus up from 533 MHz to 667 MHz moving the CPU up to 2.0 GHz.
You can manually adjust the CPU FSB and memory bus, as with most other recent NVIDIA chipsets, and even set the specific memory timings. But that pretty much rounds out the functionality of the Zotac ION offerings.
One thing that is definitely MISSING from this board is an integrated BIOS flash utility – at this point if your motherboard doesn’t have that feature then I consider the manufacturer to be nothing but lazy.
