Seems like the local suppliers don't sell them anymore in favor of Atoms.
Anyone know where to get them? (AMD Geode based systems)
looking for a motherboard ideally, or otherwise in one of those small cases.
 
Why? It's pretty old tech now. Been superseded by AMD's newer 45nm low power single core and dual-core CPU's/
 
Got one for you, pm me if you interested.

Edit: Just wan't to make sure is this what you are looking for?

Ethernet: 10/100Mbps dual RTL8100C Ethernet chipsets
I/O Interface: 4 x USB 2.0
2 x SATA with VIA VT6421A RAID 0,1 function support
1 x LPT
2 x RS-232
1 x RS-422/485
1 x PS/2 keyboard/mouse
1 x IDE
Super I/O: W83627EHG
Digital I/O: 8 bit digital I/O, 4-bit input/ 4-bit output by super I/O
Infrared: 1 x Infrared Interface by pin hearer
Audio: Realtek ALC203 with AC’97 Codec
SSD: CF Type II
Display Interfaces: VGA integrated in AMD® Geode LX800

Thanks, added you as a friend, plz PM me the price, condition, and what area you're in :)

This is for a low power server I want to run at home

Synasthesia:
Problem is neither AMD/Intel have a new low power CPU (in AMD's case) / platform (in both cases)
Intel's Atom chipsets eat over 20W of power. Apparently in Q3 of 2010 they're coming out with Atom CPUs that have integrated graphics, which should save power.
The Atom's primary design goal is to be as cheap as possible, other concerns like low power are secondary.
As for AMD, their current low power CPU that we can get in SA is the sempron 140, which is actually a dual core with 1 core disabled. Not great for low power.
The athlon x2 dual core 240 would be better.
But then the thing is you've got to just pick a micro-ATX AMD motherboard and hope that its going to be low power. (obviously looking at the bios features in the manual beforehand)
Then clock it down, like the Hypertransport speed and clocks and voltages etc.
I've done some looking and can't find much decent, recent reviews of people doing stuff like that. (Like I used X CPU and Y motherboard, did this, and it used Z watts)

So my choices are basically:
A Netbook (not a bad option, but I'd worry about reliability, cleaning the dust out of one would be a mission)
A Via C7 motherboard (actually considering a very nice board at the moment for a good price) (C7 systems typically use 11-16W)
An AMD Geode system (uses about 6W :) the only lame thing is they use DDR RAM :/)

Other than that I dislike intel and support other companies wherever possible.
(Intel has been very dishonourable, if you don't know what I'm talking about you can google about Intel's dodgy business practises)
 
Ok cool, You need that with SSD, XP embedded image and ram? The board is new and caries a full guarantee.

Edit: And yes, its what I do for a living.

OK I totally see your point. Great choice for a low power server actually.
