VIA VB8002 Overview
The VIA VB8002 Mainboard is an ultra compact native x86 platform optimized for today's
demanding embedded and productivity applications. The mainboard is based on the VIA CX700M2
advanced all-in-one system processor featuring an embedded hard are MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and
WMV9 video decoding accelerator. Its integrated VIA UniChrome™ Pro II 2D/3D graphics provide
rich digital media performance. With the sizable memory band idth of DDR2 533MHz SDRAM
DIMM and the high data transfer speeds of ATA-133 and further enhanced by support of 8-Channel
High Definition Audio Codec for Smart 7.1 surround sound and SPDIF, the VIA VB8002 delivers the
increased performance levels required by today’s embedded digital media applications.
The latest in high-band idth connectivity features t o USB 2.0 ports (and the ability to support up
to four more USB ports using the available onboard pin headers), and a 10/100 Fast Ethernet port
for extended broadband connectivity. The VIA VB8002 also has one PCI slot for expandability
options. The VIA VB8002 is compatible ith a full range of Mini-ITX chassis as ell as FlexATX and
MicroATX enclosures and po er supplies.
The VIA VB8002 is fully compatible ith Microsoft
®
and Linux operating systems and is available in
a variety of configurations.
