        Kontron is shipping improved versions of two of its ETX form-factor single-board computers (SBCs). The company has boosted the performance of both its Celeron-based ETX-P3T and its Celeron ULV-based ETX-P3Tx, while maintaining "reasonable" power consumption levels of under 10W, it says.


        Additionally, the new spin of the ETX-P3Tx boasts "even better graphics and I/O performance" than its predecessor.

        Measuring 3.74 x 4.5 inches, ETX modules plug into application-specific baseboards like macrocomponents. Kontron's ETX modules typically supply core embedded-PC CPU and memory subsystems together with sound, video, Ethernet, and PC-compatible I/O, and they connect to the rest of the embedded system through high-density, low profile, surface-mount connectors that carry both ISA and PCI bus signals as well as dedicated I/O interfaces.

        The ETX-P3T series was introduced last fall. Both enhanced ETX modules support Windows CE and Windows XP Embedded, among other popular OSes. They are available now with prices starting, respectively, at $240 and $320 in small quantities.
