The PCM-4390 employs the ubiquitous Intel 945GM GMCH/ICH7M chipset and Intel 945GM (Extreme Graphics 2) graphics. Additional features include dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, two SATA II ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports. While the 1.66 GHz Core Duo processor requires active cooling, Celeron M and 1.2 GHz Core Duo models are available for customers who need fanless operation.
The company claims the board's USB-based disk-on-module (USB-DOM) option -- supported by flash memory vendors such as PQI, Msystems, Transcend, and InnoDisk -- enables quicker boot-up and read/write performance than CompactFlash. USB-DOM devices can also be locked onto the SBC just 3 mm from the board itself, providing superior vibration tolerance, the company says.
Other specifications include:
