P4ELA platform
Commell has brought out the Industrial Micro ATX motherboard P4ELA.
The P4ELA incorporates an Intel LGA775 pin-out compatible with: Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9400; Intel Core 2 Duo processors E8400, E7400, E6400 and E4300; Intel Dual-Core processors E5300 and E2160; and Intel Celeron processor 440 at 1333/1066/800MHz system bus.
The P4ELA platform is based on the Q45 Express chipset.
It is ideal for developing high-performance systems for industrial workstation, industrial control and automation, retail and hospitality, gaming, print imaging, digital signage, digital surveillance and network-security applications.
The P4ELA mainboard has a built-in Intel Graphics Accelerator 4500 to deliver an excellent blend of graphics performance and features and support for Microsoft DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0, enabling support for the highest levels of Windows Vista experience.
The graphic memory controller hub incorporates an updated backbone architecture that optimises available bandwidth with the 1333MHz system bus.
The mainboard also supports Intel Matrix Storage Technology (MST), provides quicker access to applications and data files with RAID 0 and 10, and greater data-protection against a hard-disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5 and 10.
Commell's P4ELA supports DDR3 DIMM up to 8GB and comes with PS/2 keyboard and mouse, five RS232Cs and one RS232/422/485.
Networking is provided by two Intel 82574L Giga LANs, eight USB2.0 ports, HD audio and six SATA2 interfaces.
It also includes the following expansion slots: one ISA, two PCIs and one Mini PCI, one PCI-E 4X and one PCI-E 16X.
