Shuttle announced their new FV25 mainboard, which deserves being called one of the tiniest solutions for Socket370 platform.
The specs of this new product look quite fine for an Information PC or Value PC solution. Here they are. The mainboard is designed in FlexATX form-factor (7.5" x 7" or 19cm x 17.8cm). It supports all existing Socket370 CPUs including 0.13micron Celeron and C3. The board is based on VIA PLE133T (VT8601T North Bridge), features 2 DIMM slots for up to 512MB PC100/PC133 SDRAM. Besides, there is 1 PCI slot, integrated Trident Blade 3D graphics core, AC’97 sound, ATA/100 support (due to VT82C686B South Bridge), 2 USB ports, integrated IEEE 1394a controller (VIA 6306, 2 ports) and 10/100 Ethernet controller (Realtek 8100). Also the board may come with an optional MC’97 V.90 modem.
All in all, this solution is nearly identical to Mini-iTX from VIA (see this news story) except the CPU socket (which is an indisputable advantage, of course) and slightly larger dimensions (this is a small drawback). The price hasn’t been revealed yet, unfortunately.
