Kontron has now extended its range of basic motherboards with two variants based on the 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor.

These are the Kontron KTG41/ATX ATX basic motherboard and the KTG41/ATXU Micro-ATX basic motherboard.

Compared to standard ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards the two new Kontron ATX and Micro-ATX basic motherboards with Intel G41 Express chipset and LGA 775 socket for Intel processors up to the 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9650 offer advanced design qualities for rugged environments plus three years' long-term availability (standard boards are only available for a few months) and vendor support for OEMs.

Compared to embedded motherboards that offer up to seven years' availability and support, basic motherboard focus on applications with fast innovation cycles and high demands on computing and graphics performance.

Equipped with only the latest and most demanded interfaces, Kontron basic motherboards are extremely cost-effective, making them ideal for high-volume applications with fast innovation cycles in the fields of gaming, digital signage, POS, check-in terminals, ticketing machines, hotel multimedia terminals or even industrial shop-floor applications for quality control.

The Kontron KTG41/ATX ATX and Kontron KTG41/ATXU Micro-ATX basic motherboards feature the Intel Graphics and Memory Controller Hub as well as the Intel I/O Controller Hub (Intel ICH7R) and support Intel processors up to the 45nm Intel Core2 Quad processor Q9650 with 3.0GHz, 12MB L2 cache and a FSB of up to 1,333 MHz.

For data-processing intensive applications the Kontron KTG41 boards support up to 8GB of dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM with one DIMM module per channel.

Both Kontron KTG41 boards feature DirectX 10 graphics with shader model 4.0 for DVI, SDVO and DisplayPort via the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 (Intel GMA 4500).

If even more graphics performance is needed, the 16-lane PCI Express port offers support for an external high-end graphics card.

The new Kontron KTG41 basic motherboards support Windows Vista, Windows XP and Linux.
