The 886LCD/mITX uses Intel's 855GME/6300ESB embedded chipset that includes the Extreme Graphics 2 controller with 2D/3D graphics engine for "dazzling graphics," Kontron said. The board has VGA and LVDS video outputs as well as a AGP/DVO graphic interface. The AGP/DVO slot enables standard external AGP or ADD cards (pictured below) to provide a second LCD connection, or a TV output port.
