| Notes | Intel N150 (cwwk.net N150-K); N100, Core i3-N305 and Core 3 N355 versions of the same layout are sold by Topton as…. CPU-only N150/N355 with one single-channel DIMM is slow; the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot could host a low-profile GPU but that is untested in sources read. |

Running AI on the CWWK N150-K / N355 Mini-ITX NAS motherboard (6x SATA, 2x i226-V)
It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 40.3 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time. More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.
