I'm not sure about the ICH9R: it needs to work as a standard AHCI card
not in RAID mode.

Unfortunately, the Z5xx ATOM CPUs are all 32bit which, I think, 
disqualifies them.

I have a Atom 230 (with the power hungry motherboard) and the new 
motherboard is clearly better when it comes to power (D410/D510)
but I'm not sure it is much faster.

The Supermicro boards all use SO DIMMs and I'm not such a fan of those.
