The i945/ICH7M would be a far better final target for an Atom chipset and has none of the above mentioned issues. Of course you would need to use Diamondville Atom rather Silverthorne Atom in this case.
The problem with i945, from what I've read, is that the i945 chipset
uses
as much or perhaps more power then the CPU, which makes it less than ideal for low power embedded systems, especially battery powered ones e.g.
nettops.
Looks like the ECS 945GCT-D might be a good starting choice. It looks
like
the SPI has a dip socket already :-)
Or even the Jetway NF94-270-LF.
