Teeny Tiny Motherboard

Via are launching this bad lad....



Looks pretty pants i am sure you'll agree, however, this tiddly motherboard holds on it a 1GHz processor, dx9 graphics and HD sound in a package about the size of the number pad on a keyboard.

On the board, you’ll find two main chips; a 1GHz VIA C7 CPU and a VIA VX800 chipset, which features an S3 Chrome9 IGP that supports DirectX 9, as well as hardware MPEG-2/4 and WMV9 acceleration. The chipset also has a VIA Vinyl HD audio codec, with appropriate pin-outs on the board, and the board features a single EIDE channel and S-ATA connector, plus a 1Gb/sec Ethernet chip.

Otherwise, the board is a pretty sparse affair, and there’s a reason for that, which is that it has a modular plug-in architecture, which VIA calls SUMIT (stackable unified module interconnect technology). The idea is that you can stack expansion boards on top of the board to provide the I/O features that you want. These include boards to add a 4x PCI-E slot and up to two 1x PCI-E slots, as well as three USB 2 ports.

This will make for some really good pc mods coming out, and i bet a pound to a pinch of s**t they start including pc's in every electrical device being sold now 'because they can'.
