Mar. 21, 2008
 Axiomtek has announced a "cost-effective, ultra-lowpower" mini-ITX motherboard it says is aimed at industrial, automation, and embedded applications. The SBC86822 has 600MHz or 1GHz Intel Celeron M processors, PCI expansion, eight USB ports, two gigabit Ethernet ports, and support for dual monitors.

The SBC86822 uses Intel's 910GMLE Express mobile chipset and ICH6-M southbridge. Its Socket 478 CPU connector accepts 600MHz or 1GHz Intel Celeron Ms, while dual 240-pin DIMM sockets allow up to 2GB of RAM.

The 910GMLE chipset's integrated graphics can share up to 128MB of the system memory as a framebuffer. The board supports dual monitors -- a CRT with up to 2048 x 1536 resolution, and an LCD with up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. CRT output is via a VGA connector, while LVDS LCDs may be connected via a 40-pin header.
Standard PC connectors mounted on the board's edge include (shown at right, from left to right) PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse, three serial ports, the VGA output, four USB ports, two gigabit Ethernet ports, and audio mic in/line out. Interfaces using headers on the board itself include three additional serial ports, a floppy interface, four USB ports, a parallel port, and the LVDS output already mentioned. The board also features a PCI expansion slot, capable of accepting two PCI cards via a right-angled riser, according to Axiomtek.
