Arista Debuts Intel 845 Pentium 4-Based Full-Size SBC With Onboard VGA And LAN

Arista Corporation announced the release of its latest single board computer, the SBC-F9710VL. This CPU card incorporates the Intel advanced 845 Chipset Memory Controller hub and supports 478-pin Intel Pentium 4 processors of 1.3GHz to 2GHz. The SBC-F9710VL represents the perfect choice for those who want the highest level of computing performance available on a single board computer, for rugged and demanding applications in industrial automation, image processing, multimedia and telecommunications.

The SBC-F9710VL also features 400MHz front side bus speed (triple the rate of current 133MHz FSB CPUs), 256K cache on CPU and up to 3GB of SDRAM support. An ATI Rage 128 Pro controller with 4x AGP and 16MB memory on board delivers powerful video performance and capability. The ATI Rage 128 Pro is the most reliable yet flexible solution for the Pentium 4 chip, the latest generation of Intel microprocessor that bundles enhanced video performance and features. Current P4 chips can run at a bus speed of 1.4GHz and boast a CPU clock rate of 2GHz, compared to the Pentium III processor which runs at 1.1GHz.

Its Intel 845 core logic chip achieves a current maximum capacity of 3GB SDRAM via the three DIMM slots onboard, while its Socket 478 architecture invites an even wider range of future P4 processors.

Designed for increased VGA functionality, the Pentium 4 onboard the SBC-F9710VL easily handles the most tedious computing tasks while delivering enhanced VGA performance. In addition to its ATI VGA chip, the SBC-F9710VL pushes graphical functions to the limit with a DVI interface that provides LCD panel support for flat displays. Video applications include video on demand, video streaming, video over IP, 3D rendering and animation.

The networking capabilities of the Arista SBC-F9710VL incorporate the Intel ICH2 and 562 chips embedding 10/100 base T/TX LAN. The board also fits perfectly into network security systems and as the core set to application servers. For CTI integration deploying multi-segmented backplanes, the SBC-F9710VL delivers high video quality without sacrificing system operations. Driver support includes Windows 95/98/2000, Windows NT, Netware, SCO Open Server 5.0 and Linux.

Additional flexibility is provided by two USB ports, two enhanced IDE interfaces supporting up to four IDE devices, Ultra DMA 33/66/100 support, floppy disk controller, PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors, watchdog timer and an on-chip RTC clock/calendar with battery backup.
