Pico-ITX

Pico-ITX

Pico-ITX is a PC motherboard form factor announced by VIA Technologies in January 2007 and demonstrated later the same year at CeBIT. The Pico-ITX form factor specifications call the board to be 10 x 7.2 cm (3.9 in x 2.8 in), which is half the area of Nano-ITX. The processor can be a VIA C7 or a VIA Eden V4 that uses VIA's NanoBGA2 technology for speeds up to 1.5 GHz, with 128KB L1 & L2 caches. It uses DDR2 400/533 SO-DIMM memory, with support for up to 1GB. Video is supplied via AGP by VIA's UniChrome Pro II GPU with built-in MPEG-2, 4, and WMV9 decoding acceleration. The BIOS is a 4 or 8 Mbit Award BIOS.

EPIA PX (currently the only motherboard series that uses the Pico-ITX form factor) has been demonstrated running Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista [cite web|title=Via's incredible shrinking mobo line spawns "pico-ITX"|url=http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2154184680.html] . Modern versions of major Linux distributions, including Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 7.10, have also been shown to be able to run on it.

EPIA PX10000G

The first motherboard in this form factor is called EPIA PX10000G. It is 10 x 7.2 cm and 10 layers deep. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to about 50°C. The operating humidity level (relative and non-condensing) can be from 0% to about 95%. It uses a 1 GHz VIA C7 processor, a VIA VX700 chip set, and is RoHS compliant. [cite web|title=VIA EPIA PX-Series Pico-ITX Mainboard Homepage|url=http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=472] It has onboard VGA video-out, VIA VT6106S 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet, UDMA 33/66/100/133 44-pin PATA (1x), and SATA (1x) I/O. DVI and LVDS video-out, USB 2.0, COM, PS/2 Mouse & Keyboard, and 7.1 channel audio (supplied by a VIA VT1708A chip) are supported through the usage of I/O pin headers and add-on modules.

The VIA PX-O add-on module supplies access to: 1 RCA-out for S/PDIF usage, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 Mic-in, 1 Line-out, 1 Line-in, 1 buzzer/speaker, 1 CN9 Connector (function TBC), and 1 CN10 Connector (function TBC). "(Note: Either the VIA PX-O add-on module or 4 USB 2.0 I/O are supplied in retail packages.)"
