OEM customers to get to the market fast. ETX Core modules are also know as COM (Computer on module) or as SOM (System on Module). ETX-EV133 is based on the VIA’s Eden ESP processor combined with VIA Apollo PLE133T and VT82C686B chipsets. The onboard SODIMM socket supports 144-pin SODIMM type memory modules that can accommodates up to 512MB non-ECC SDRAM modules.

In this way the heatsolution, that is built on top of the heatspreader is compatible with any kind of ETX module not just the ETX-EV133. It enables the second source model for ETX or upgrade path to a higher performance ETX module. Any change in ETX board type does not requirre the complete rebuild of the heat solution in your application.
