This powerful industrial ATX motherboard provides the ideal solution for multiple applications such as industrial control and automation, multimedia, gaming, kiosk, digital signage, print imaging, digital surveillance and network security. "What makes this new product different is that we've included six Power COM ports," says Jimmy Chang, American Portwell Technology, Inc's product marketing manager. "These power serial ports include one RS232/422/485 at the rear I/O and five RS232 internal ports, all of which operate at a selectable 5V/12V. We've also placed one parallel port at the rear I/O. But there's even more to the new RUBY-9719VG2AR," he adds, "such as the fact that the Intel G41 Express chipset has built-in GMA X4500 that delivers optimized 3D graphics performance and support for DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0 and Open GL 2.0. The four SATA ports supply a high-speed storage interface that supports a faster transfer rate for improved data access with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10."
