The EPIA ML-Series Mini-ITX Embedded Motherboard is an ultra-compact native x86 platform optimized for today's demanding embedded and productivity applications. At just 17cm x 17cm, the Mini-ITX form factor can fit into very cramped spaces that are not suitable for other motherboard form factors, and is fully compatible with Microsoft and Linux Operating Systems. Available with an embedded VIA Eden ESP processor for fanless systems with ultra low-power requirements, or an embedded VIA C3 processor for more demanding digital multimedia applications, the VIA EPIA ML-Series is the perfect platform for a whole range of small form factor, low-power and affordable PCs and embedded devices.

The EPIA ML-Series' VIA CLE266 chipset features a hardware-based MPEG-2 accelerator for silky smooth DVD playback, and integrated 2D/3D graphics for a rich multimedia experience. With the sizable memory bandwidth of DDR266 SDRAM and the high data transfer speeds of ATA/133, the EPIA ML Mini-ITX embedded motherboard ensures the high performance levels required of today's most popular productivity and digital media applications. The user's digital media experience is further enhanced by support for 5.1 surround sound, courtesy of the onboard VIA VT1616 6-Channel AC'97 codec.
