VIA EPIA-P710 Overview
The VIA EPIA-P710 Pico-ITXe mainboard is an ultra compact nati e x86 platform for a wide range
of embedded system applications. The mainboard is based on the VIA VX800 All-in-One System
Processor featuring the VIA C-9 HC3 DX9 IGP with ideo accelerators for rich digital media
performance.
The VIA EPIA-P710 onboard VIA C7 NanoBGA2 processor is a powerful, secure, and efficient
processor with its included VIA Padlock Security Engine, VIA CoolStream™ Architecture, VIA
StepAhead™ Technology Suite, and VIA TwinTurbo™ technology.
The VIA EPIA-P710 deli ers the performance le els with its included sizeable support of up to 2 GB
of 667 MHz DDR2 memory and nati e support for SATA 3Gb/s storage de ices. In addition to
EPIA-P710 is highly extensible. Its SUMIT interface enables it to easily configure certain IO ports.
The VIA EPIA-P710 is fully compatible with Microsoft
®
and Linux operating systems.
