This platform will consist of the single-core Atom D410 processor or the dual-core D510 processor, coupled with the Intel 82801IR I/O Controller. According to Intel, there will be up to 50% power reduction and improved performance from this setup, compared to the previous generation of Atom processors. If you like nitty gritty details, the platform will feature six PCI Express lanes, 12 USB 2.0 ports, a port multiplier function, eSATA ports and also supports Windows Home Server, as well as Linux operating systems.

It’s tax season, a time of year that identity thieves are looking to prey on unsuspecting victims. That’s why we′ve joined forces with Fellowes to give away five of their new Microshred Series shredders (specifically the MS-450Ci), which literally shred paper into dust (3,000 pieces to be exact). Protect your sensitive information and enter to win! Here’s how Fellowes describes its product:

“Fellowes Microshred Series shredders are designed to help consumers and business professionals protect their confidential information at home and in the workplace. The Microshred product line is the first to combine Micro-Cut capabilities with 100% Jam Proof technology, reducing paper documents into pieces 10x smaller than a Cross-Cut shredder, making them virtually impossible for identity thieves to piece back together.”
