Spring is here and we're finally emerging from a dull, brown, snowless winter. It feels good to re-energize and power-up for the summer months ahead. That's why we decided to turn to some of our more powerful motherboards and systems to talk about this month. Of course, powerful isn't synonymous with power hungry. The selection we feature below offer up dual core processing power with minimal energy consumption. This is critical for us because our computers need to maintain a small footprint, remain cool, and draw less power than their desktop counterparts while being required to run many of the same tasks and processes people use big, beefy computers for.

Also, just in case you missed the announcement last month about the product discontinuance of the Intel D945GSEJT "Johnstown" mainboard, you can read our latest blog post on it. The article includes a table detailing the differences between the migration options for this board.

The VIA EPIA-M910 features the dual core 1.6 GHz VIA Nano X2 CPU and VX900 Media System Processor, offering up enough power to drive 1080p video and media-intensive applications. Quintessential to VIA's mainboards, the M910 adds support for legacy I/O with two RS-232 COM ports, PS2 keyboard/mouse ports, and a host of onboard connectors including single-channel LVDS, pin headers for an additional six RS-232 COM ports, PCI, and PCIe x1 provide maximum versatility for any application. The EPIA-M910 is an ideal solution for point-of-use systems, advanced kiosks and gaming systems, as well as digital signage.

Product Features

	Back panel I/O provides HDMI, VGA, dual Gb LAN, four USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232 COM ports, two PS2 mouse/keyboard ports, and three audio jacks.
	VIA Nano X2 CPU and VX900 media system processor features support for MPEG-2, WMV9, VC-1 and H.264 video formats.
	Two DDR3 DIMM slots support up to 8 GB memory with two SATA 3 Gb/sec. connectors for storage use.

The LGX AG150-V is a compact, low-profile, and fanless system featuring Intel's Cedarview Atom processor, the dual-core 1.86 GHz N2800. Its completely fanless design protects against dust and dirt while improving reliability by eliminating the need for a fan and reducing the number of moving parts. The wide-input, automotive power supply provides ignition sensing capabilities and deep discharge prevention, both essential in automotive applications. Opt for the vibration-isolating mounting kit and SSD for a shock-resistant and reliable solid state solution.

Product Features

	Comes standard with mounting brackets and is less than 1.5 inches tall; easy to mount in a vehicle's cabin and tuck away from view.
	Offers HDMI and VGA, six USB 2.0 ports (including two high-current ports for faster charging of peripherals), two RS-232 COM ports, and Gb LAN.

The LGX PT901 is a high-end, ruggedized barebone with an operating temperature range of -40°C~70°C, easily exceeding the demanding requirements of harsh environments. It is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation and is ideal for industrial projects needing a reliable, feature rich computing platform that is both powerful and efficient.

For a limited time, take advantage of a great price on this extreme temperature computer. For $1699, the PT901 comes standard with a P8400 CPU, 2 GB wide temperature memory, mounting brackets, and cabling. Assembly and testing services by our expert technicians are included.

Product Features

	Comes with an Intel 2.26 GHz P8400 CPU; high performance computing in a fanless case, protected from shock and vibration.
	Has a wide input (10~28 V) power supply with a secure Phoenix connector with an optional remote power switch.
	Offers a CF slot that is accessible from the front and a PCI slot for expansion without compromising the overall footprint.
