Mini Motherboards Double Speed And Memory

The company's latest verdex motherboard, the XL6P, supports a Marvell 600-MHz PXA270 CPU, 128 MB of RAM, and 32 MB of flash memory, which represents a two times boost in speed and memory over previous boards in the family. Fitting in the palm of one's hand, the board also includes three connectors for expansion, a 60-pin connector, and 24-pin flex and 120-pin board-to-board connectors. Also available is on-board Bluetooth with a u.fl antenna connector. Compatible with existing 60-pin boards, to access new functions, such as USB Host, the company will be introducing expansion boards in the near future. Single-unit pricing starts at $129 and OEM pricing is set below $60 each/1,000 with reduced processor speed, memory, or options.
