TAIPEI, TAIWAN, January 5, 2005 - IBASE Technology, a leader in embedded computing, announces world's first Intel® 915G express chipset-based industrial motherboard. The latest long-life industrial motherboard from IBASE Technology features the most advanced PCI Express bus that delivers over three times more bandwidth than PCI and AGP8X buses. The board is designed for Intel® Pentium® 4 processors supporting Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology in the LGA775 package with system bus of 800/533MHz for greater system performance. With two DDR/400/DDR333 memory sockets on board, flexible memory configurations of up to 2GB RAM is supported.

Expansion slots include three PCI, two ISA, one PCI Express x16 and one PCI Express x1 I/O interface. The built-in Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 runs the graphics engine at 333MHz, featuring new 3D capabilities and PCI Express graphics card support. Onboard LAN uses two Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers for Dual Gigabit LAN solution.

High-speed data transfers are provided by 4 Serial ATA ports (SATA/150) at up to 150MB/s for each port and 6 USB 2.0 ports that offer 40X more bandwidth over USB 1.1 for high-speed I/O devices. Some unique features of the MB880 ATX motherboard include DiskOnChip socket, 4 serial ports, digital I/O and Boot ROM support.
