        Taiwan Commate Computer Inc. (Commell) has added another model to its growing line of mini-ITX embedded motherboards. The company claims that the LV-675 is the first mini-ITX board to support Pentium M and Celeron M processors with a 533 MHz front side bus (FSB).


        It comes with drivers for Windows XP Embedded (XPe).

        The company says the LV-675's 533 MHz FSB provides 33 percent more bandwidth than its previous generation Pentium M platform. The board supports processor speeds up to 2.26 GHz, and onboard memory up to 1 GB of DDR 200/266/333 SDRAM. A 32-bit PCI connector supports two bus masters through a "riser" card. Additional expansion is available via two mini-PCI slots.

        Commell lists the following key features and specifications for the LV-675:
        • Processor -- micro-FCPGA 478 Mobile Intel Pentium M or Celeron M, clocked at up to 2.26 GHz; supports 400 or 533 MHz FSB
        • Memory -- 184-pin DIMM socket; supports up to 1 GB DDR SDRAM
        • Display:
