The Axiomtek SBC84600VEA 3.5in embedded board is ideal for multimedia applications.

Available with CPU speeds of 400, 667 and 800MHz, this is a drop-in replacement for Aximotek's SBC84500 and SBC84510 Geode Class SBCs, allowing cost effective upgrading to more powerful solutions.

The SBC84600 has an ultralow-power-consumption CPU (less than 4W).

On 3.5in form-factor boards, the 400 and 667MHz versions feature fanless CPUs.

All variants carry an array of connectivity and expansion options.

These include four COM ports, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, digital I/O, USB, audio, AGP-4X VIA Twister graphics, with up to 32Mbyte shared memory, CompactFlash and HDD storage, PC/104 and Mini-PCI expansion slots and watchdog timer.

All the CPU speeds available share common component and I/O placement.

This small board provides considerable high performance to deal effectively with demanding multimedia applications.
