From VIA the new improved : EPIA PX5000EG 500MHz Pico-ITX




Two days ago VIA announced the release of a new motherboard for the VIA Pico-ITX line-up, the VIA EPIA PX5000EG. This new motherboard is very similar to the PX10000EG, but is fanless and features a 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor.It's hard not to get excited about VIA's Pico-ITX offerings: who cares if the capabilities are limited, they're just so adorably small we want to pinch their cheeks. Now VIA is making things even more efficient with a 500MHz board that can be cooled solely with the heatsink -- no fan required. Naturally, that step down in processor speed from the PX10000 won't exactly be much help to the folks sticking Ubuntu on these things, but the PX5000EG should be a boon to the embedded market and reliability nuts.Readmore at Akihabaranews.
