PC/104 stacks are the right choice in the following situations:
• Where there are extreme space limitations, such as in mobile applications
• When the system is placed in a harsh environment
The acquisition cost for a complete PC/104 stack is relatively low and is in the
same range as an equivalent desktop PC.
Performance
Due to the small physical dimensions of the PC/104 standard, CPU boards
cannot be equipped with the more powerful CPU families that are available.
PC/104 CPU boards normally use processors that are one or two generations
behind those available in the desktop PC. Currently, very few CPU boards use
processors running faster than 400 MHz.
PC/104 CPU Board
If low-power consumption or fanless operation is necessary, then PC/104
boards make use of mobile Pentium CPUs or special embedded CPUs (Intel,
AMD, and others) running at even slower rates (66MHz-300MHz). Therefore,
