Cincinnati, Ohio (August 30, 2004)- Advantech Corporation, Industrial Automation Group is proud to release a new high performance ATX industrial motherboard, AIMB-744. Using the Intel 875P and 6300ESB chipset, AIMB-744 features an Intel® Pentium® 4 400/533/800 MHz FSB (Front Side Bus) with HT (Hyper-Threading) technology. AIMB-744 is designed to fulfill the requirements for high-speed upgrades as well as bandwidth demanding network applications. AIMB-744 supports dual channel DDR 400 memory up to 4GB with ECC, 2SATA (Serial ATA) devices, 2 PCI-X (64bit/66MHz), 4 PCI (32bit/33MHz), AGP 8X slot, as well as dual Gigabit LANs.

Equipped with the Intel® 875P chipset, the AIMB-744 supports Intel® Pentium® 4 and Celeron® processors up to 3.4/2.8 GHz with HT technology. HT technology is ideal for real-time control systems as it enables multi-threaded software applications to execute threads in parallel, greatly boosting performance. Along with the 6300ESB chipset, 2 SATA devices are featured with simpler, longer, thinner cabling, delivering higher data transfer rates up to 150MB/sec. Four DDR 400 SDRAM DIMMs (supporting ECC,) provide memory capacity up to a maximum 4 GB, giving memory bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s for high-end applications.

AIMB-744 performs high-speed data transmission using Intel's CSA (Communications Streaming Architecture), a dedicated network bus, which delivers full duplex capabilities. The Intel 82547 controller reduces PCI bottleneck and maximizes network data flow through dual 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports. AIMB-744 has multiple high performance onboard I/O capability with up to 4Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports and optional Compact Flash socket. Multiple expansion options with 1 AGP 8X slot, 2 PCI-X slots and 4 PCI slots provide flexibility without additional cost.

AIMB-744 has all the necessary industrial features such as long MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure,) watchdog timer, wide operating temperature range, and CMOS data backup. Additionally, a custom BIOS service is available to build in specific functions. SNMP management intelligence allows users to remotely manage and monitor the system via a browser over the network. Designed with system compatibility considerations, users have the flexibility to build their systems with Advantech's 1U, 2U, 4U, 5U and 7U rack and wall-mounting chassis' for their specific applications.

Advantech’s AIMB-744 is currently in-stock and available for purchase by calling 877-294-8989. More information can be found at www.advantech.com/eautomation.
