Intel Pentium M chip used in blade server

HP ANNOUNCED its intention to use the Pentium M processor - used in the Centrino bundle - in future blade servers but it appears a smaller company has beat the PC giant by already releasing one.

Momentum has launched a 6U Pentium M Compact PCI single board computer which operates at either 1.1GHz or 1.6GHz.

It's called the Cheetah-A.

The board uses the 7501 memory controlller and supports a 400MHz bus and dual channel error correcting 200MHz DDR synchronous DRAM.

The server also has support for ATA, FDD and parallel ports, a 10/100-base Ethernet port, two USB ports on the front, as well as PS/2 and mouse interfaces on the front too.

It will run Linux and Windows 2000/XP operating systems. µ
