It's most likely that the Atom system is using the 945GC chipset, of which the TDP is 22W. I believe the hostest Atom is the D525, of which the TDP is about 14W and less than the 945GC Northbridge. Find those that use the newer NM10, used to be called Tiger Point. Its TDP is about 2W. Then, you can run fanless with the right heatsink and case combination. -- Best Regards. Bao C.
