VIA introduces EPIA Mini-ITX motherboard

VIA Technologies, Inc has announced the worldwide availability of its
ultra-compact, highly integrated EPIA Mini-ITX motherboard for digital
information and entertainment devices.

The new Mini-ITX motherboard offers the choice of a VIA Eden ESP processor
for fanless systems with power sensitive requirements, or a VIA C3 E-Series
processor for more multimedia-rich applications. The VIA EPIA Mini-ITX
motherboard features integrated 3D graphics, AC’97 audio, Ethernet and TV-Out
connectivity.

Measuring only 170mm x 170mm, it is the perfect platform for developing the
next generation of small footprint Digital Information Appliances and
Entertainment Devices.

With an operating voltage of just 1.2V, the VIA Eden ESP processor expands on
the acclaimed low-power consumption and heat dissipation qualities of the VIA C3
processor, offering lower power consumption than any other x86 processor.
Furthermore, the VIA Eden ESP processor does not require a fan, opening up
endless possibilities in the design of silent PCs and other quiet running
devices.

The VIA EPIA Mini-ITX motherboard is based around the VIA Apollo chipset and
is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 9x, Embedded Windows, and
Windows CE operating systems as well as all the leading versions of Linux.
