Taipei Taiwan (January 15, 2008)—AAEON (TAIEX: 2463), a premier Industrial PC manufacturer, releases its first XTX (eXtended Technology for ETX) module.  This module not only provides the latest technology of Computer On Module (COM) to customers, but also completes the AAEON COM standard product line.  AAEON now has a full range of COM, ETX and XTX series modules to offer.

XTX-945 is able to equip with Intel® Core 2 Duo (Merom)/ Core Duo/ Core Solo/ Celeron M (Yonah) processors and has one 200-pin DDR II 400/533/667 SODIMM to support system memory up to 2GB.  XTX-945 adopts Intel® 945GME+ ICH7-M chipset that implements serial technologies with high performance.  In addition, XTX-945 accommodates user-friendly expansion interfaces, ex: four PCI-Express〔x1〕, four 32-bit PCI, one LPC bus, one SMBus and one I2C interface. 

For the display specifications, XTX-945 integrates Intel® 945GME and shared system memory is up to 224MB. The display of XTX-945 supports CRT and 24-bit dual-channel LVDS LCD.  Moreover, it supports NTSC/ PAL/ HDTV and Composite Video, S-Video on the carrier board. In addition, one SDVO port can be used through the SDVO connector to provide more flexibility for display function.

“The XTX standard is the enhanced ETX technology with the newest serial technologies, such as SATA and PCI-Express. It integrates all key components of the common PC and is mounted onto an application-specific carrier board.  Moreover, the standard XTX is a cost-effective upgrade that avoids redesigning the carrier board to achieve customers’ requirements of high performance I/Os.  Users need not worry about the cost and manpower of redesigning the existing carrier boards to enhance their systems.  XTX modules are highly integrated with additional functions and rich I/O interfaces than ETX modules “, says Peter Yang, Product Manager of the Embedded Computing Division, AAEON Technology Inc.

Compared to the ETX modules, the ISA bus has been replaced by SATA and PCI-Express interfaces on XTX modules.  If you are looking for an economic, time-saving and high performance solution, XTX-945 definitely is your first choice.
