based on the VIA CN700 chipset featuring an embedded hardware MPEG-2 accelerator and 

integrated VIA UniChrome™ Pro 2D/3D graphics for rich digital media performance.  With 
the sizable memory bandwidth of DDR2 533MHz SDRAM DIMM and the high data transfer 

speed of ATA-133 and further enhanced by support of 8-Channel AC’97 codec for Smart 5.1 
surround sound and SPDIF, the VIA EPIA LN-Series delivers the increased performance 
levels required by today’s embedded digital media applications. 

 

The latest in high-bandwidth connectivity is supported with six USB 2.0 ports, as well as a 
COM port and has one 10/100 Fast Ethernet port for extended broadband connectivity.  The 

VIA EPIA LN-Series also has one PCI slot for expandability options.  The VIA EPIA LN-Series
