Via Debuts Mini-ITX 2.0

Posted by kdawson on from the now-with-sata dept.

DeviceGuru writes "Via Technologies has launched the second generation of its signature mini-motherboard standard. Mini-ITX 2.0, an evolutionary update to the seven-year-old 170×170mm form-factor, introduces new and emerging buses and interfaces such as PCI Express, SATA, Gig-E, and HD A/V, while preserving backwards-compatibility with the original standard. Mini-ITX has been a popular form-factor for a range of space-constrained hobbyist and commercial applications."

    That is because u dont know the "old" via.

    The old via, usually had 10Mb nic, 10/100Mb was added not so long.
    U have a very strong limit for 1GB ram at most.

    This machines, aren't under powered, but for truly cope with their capacity, for example the inboard HDMI port and the hardware encryption devices...

    With 1Gb ram, somethimes u have more CPU available and the amount of memory is an issue... 2GB, or 4GB ram in that machines, are a blast...

    Even u could make HPC with encryption with this things...

    They are nice, and neat.
