Thanks to the Intel® 64-Technology, this high-end module offers the flexibility to process both 64bit, as well as 32bit commands. Thus, the board is predestined for use in embedded applications requiring high computing power and achieves optimal performance using also the new Microsoft Vista operating system. RAM can be extended up to a capacity of 2GB by inserting a fast DDR2 module.

The module, based on the Mobile Intel®-Chipset 945GME, offers a wide selection of interfaces and expansion capabilities. Aside from a PCI Express™ x16-interface und four PCI-Express™ x1-interfaces, eight USB 2.0 ports are available for communication with peripheral equipment. Through an optional Intel® 82573 GBit LAN-Controller, a fast 10 / 100 / 1000 Base TX-LAN-network connection can be established. Large data volumes can be stored using the two SATA II-connections transfer rates up to 300MB/s. ACPI battery management and a watchdog timer are also implemented on the COM Express module.
