VIA EPIA-P830 overview
The VIA EPIA-P830 Pi o-ITX Mainboard is a ompa t native x86 mainboard optimized for multimedia
appli ations. The mainboard is based on the VIA VX900 Unified Digital Media IGP hipset featuring the VIA
Chrome9™ HC with 2D/3D graphi s and video a elerators for ri h digital media performan e.
The VIA EPIA-P830 in ludes a powerful, se ure, and effi ient VIA Nano™ pro essor. The VIA Nano pro essor
in ludes the VIA Padlo k Se urity Engine, VIA CoolStream™ Ar hite ture, VIA StepAhead™ Te hnology Suite,
and VIA TwinTurbo™ te hnology.
The VIA EPIA-P830 in ludes one 1066/800 MHz DDR3 SODIMM slot that supports up to 4 GB. The VIA EPIA-
P830 provides support for high fidelity audio with its in luded VIA VT1708S High Definition Audio ode . In
addition it supports two SATA 3Gb/s storage devi es.
The VIA EPIA-P830 is fully ompatible with Mi rosoft
®
and Linux operating systems.
