Sam460ex is a PowerPC modular motherboard engineered and produced by ACube Systems and it is totally made in Italy.

The core of the board is the PowerPC 460EX, a System On Chip (SoC) from Applied Micro which allowed us to build a PowerPC motherboard running at 1.15 Ghz, scalable for different uses and still fanless and very low power consumption!

The Sam460ex supports 3 expansion slots: PCI, PCIe 1x and PCIe 4x. Also it has onboard audio and video chips as well as a SATA2 port.

While this board is the fastest of our products, we also wanted to add more features to it. You can have the following on your Sam460:

  • UMTS/GSM module
  • NAND Flash
  • 7 USB ports
  • Gigabit ethernet
  • 5 boot media
  • and more...
