VIA Motherboards explained

|

VIA Epic Motherboards. A good explanation of the many VIA motherboards that folks use for PC-based versions. A little complicated but essentially,

  • PD boards are older in either 600MHz or 1GHz both fanless for embedded applications
  • Older M boards that are 600MHz fanless or 1GHz with a fan but are optimized for multimedia playback
  • MII boards add a PC Card and CF slot and are either 600MHz fanless or 1.2GHz with fan, but not a big upgrade from the M
  • MS boards get rid of all the big headers (the main size limitation of these boards)
  • TC boards take 12VDC in directly so you can put them in your car or use a "brick" adapter like a notebook.
