Thanks for re-stating the obvious Ron. There should be an Atom heading
under "Intel motherboards", or at the least Atom should be listed in either
the "socket type" or "processor type" drop downs in the advanced search
under Intel. Currently Atom is not listed in either location. It should
be. If you enter the "Intel motherboards" section, you cannot get to Atom
products. This is just stupid. Atom is an Intel product. Atom based mobos
should be listed in the main "Intel motherboard" section.
