Figured I'd share this in CASE anyone else was planning on building one of these AM1 builds. I put mine together and I have the Sempron 3850 Quadcore Kabini 1.3Ghz and its performance is about the equivalent of a 65 watt Dual-core but at 25 watts.

I bought 2 x 2GB sticks for 4GB thinking that I would have 4GB with Dual-Channel memory config vs a single 4GB stick. Well that was found out after the fact to be a waste of $2 in getting 2 x 2GB sticks vs a single 4GB stick that I could have gotten for $2 cheaper than the paid of 2GB sticks because the AM1 CPU design only supports Single-Channel memory.

This build is for my office in my barn that I plan on powering off of solar power and desktop computer setup so I decided to go with this build as an ELECTRON sipper. I ended up getting Wireless Networking out to the barn by setting up a Linksys Wireless B Access Point into a crawl space attached to a 8 ft board with duct tape and power cord and Cat5 cable long enough to place this at the far corner of the crawl space closest to the barn and power it from office of my home and tie it into home network with a router before my home network to place some isolation of communications in case anyone hacked this 2003 model Access Point even though I don't think anyone would do this and its as secure as WEP 128-bit can be with Mac Filtering, and SSID not broadcast etc. At the barn 100ft away in the loft I get a 2 bar signal, and I will setup a Linksys Bridge that I have to connect that to a switch so that I have have multiple networked devices sharing that wireless bridge connection to the Wireless B access point. I could go with G or N, but why not put an on Wireless B Access point to use vs tossing it away when my internet speed is only 5mb/1mb anyways so wireless B still exceeds the bottleneck of the broadband connection.

Here is more info on the AM1 build that another guy did with the same motherboard that I got the Gigabyte motherboard: http://betanews.com/2014/05/05/amd-am1-platform-build-a-great-pc-without-hurting-your-wallet-review/

With my build I have dual-boot Linux Mint 17.1 and Windows 7 Home Premium. Both OS run well on this build, but its performance is the feel of like a older 5 year old AMD Dual-Core, its probably because although 4 cores, its slow CLOCK of 1.3Ghz limits it, but its not meant to be a gaming setup so that's fine.For what it's worth, in general usage you won't notice any difference between even single and quad channel RAM, there just aren't that many situations where your memory bandwidth is the limiting factor vs for example your storage or CPU. At least you hopefully saved more than the additional $2 going with an AM1 build over the alternatives sounds like a decent little energy efficient PC.Quote
