<http://www.theregus.com/content/3/24274.html>; VIA preps very small mobo By Drew Cullen Posted: 03/11/2002 at 09:03 EST VIA Technologies is expected to launch a very small format motherboard this month. Called the mini-ITX, the fully integrated mobo measures up at 170mm x170mm (yes, it's square - {6.69 inches} ), making 50 per cent smaller than the FlexATX form factor, VIA claims. The Mini-ITX is supplied with an 800MHz Eden x.86 C3 processor (in EBGA packaging), incorporating 128K L1 and 64K L2 cache; integrated AGP2 graphics 2X; PC100/133 SDRAM support etc. You can check out more spec here <http://www.via.com.tw/en/VInternet/mini_itx.jsp>; The board will retail for around $100, and gets its first mainstream outing at CeBIT this week. The Mini ITX is targeted at the embedded market - expect most units to disappear into printer routers and the like; but VIA is also reporting 'grassroots interest' in the product from home PC and commercial system builders. The Mini-ITX may be small, but it is not 40 per cent smaller than any other form factor around, as VIA believes. The Danish firm, maker of the M-Series PC, deploys a 157mm x146mm mobo. ® To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
