i don't know, but the prior generation of atom motherboards
from intel were a very poor choice for plan 9 since they didn't
provide proper mp interrupt tables and.  this made it very
difficult to use both processors and we were also missing some
irq routing information that caused some bad interactions with
the southbridge.  there's a chance there's no similar irq routing
problem on the current motherboard, but i'd recommend something
else.

i am currently running a supermicro x7spa-h (d510 processor)
as my terminal and an x7sla-h as a test mule.
