Dual display, dual content support is achieved using the Intel Extreme2 graphics controller providing both CRT and LCD interfaces.

Second level cache varies from 128Kbyte to 2Mbyte, depending on the chosen processor speed.

Up to 1Gbyte DDR RAM can be fitted through the onboard SO-DIMM socket for memory intensive applications.

This can fall to 300mA when in power suspend mode.

BGA2 packaging provides an attractive choice for harsh environments and for military applications.

The PB855+ is also available in four extended operating temperature options ranging from -40 to +50 up to -40 to +85C.
