The mini-ITX form factor is still alive and kicking, and to prove it, Zotac has just expanded its mini-ITX lineup with the nForce 630i-ITX WiFi motherboard. As the board's nomenclature suggests, WiFi comes integrated with 802.11b/g support, as does graphics chores, which are handled by Nvidia's GeForce 7100 chipset.
The pint-sized board comes ready for Intel's lineup of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors with support for a full 1333MHz frontside bus. RAM support, on the other hand, comes somewhat gimped topping out at DDR2-800 instead of DDR2-1066 or DDR3. Other features include:
- Eight USB 2.0 ports (four on back panel, four on pin header)
- Onboard 10/100 Ethernet
- HD Audio 5.1
- Dual display ready (VGA / DVI)
- Four SATA II ports with RAID Support
Not a bad feature-set for a compact board, particularly if you're in the market for an HTPC build, where the integrated WiFi could end up a major selling point.

Well from experiance I dont think that Intel's Core2Duos are the size of a dime.

I'm surprised it's not equipped with GB Ethernet. I would think if someone would want to pick this board up for a media device (Hell, even a little NAS project) it would have a faster network connection on it.
