I am going to put a PC in my car. The motherboard needs to be as all inclusive as possible. I don't want to have any cards in the slots so that I can minimize the heighth. This is what I'm looking for.
* the processor should be a flat kind (AMD K6 or Celeron) not Slot 1. This machine will have three functions and that is it. 1-Collect data from the serial port from the car's engine (a p90 laptop runs fast enough for this). 2-play MP3's via WinAmp. 3-Possibly run a GPS program.
* Needs to have TV-out. The standard video out will not be used at all. I have a stereo that accepts a/v in NTSC or PAL in either standard or 16:9 format. I would prefer if the video is capable of OpenGL.
* On board LAN
* Would like disk-on-a-chip for fast boot-up.
* four channel audio. I would like to be able to play MP3's from this but I want to be able to have front and rear sound.
* standard ports: 2x serial port, 1x parallel port, 1x PS/2 Mouse Port, 1x AT Keyboard jack, 2x USB port.
* as much on board cache as possible would be great.
* as inexpensive as possible.
Thanx, Dave.
