Four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets on the IMB203 have a maximum memory capacity of 16GB.

The IMB203 motherboard also features excellent graphics performance with the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 and a PCIe x16 slot.

This industrial motherboard offers ideal performance for digital surveillance, gaming machine, POI, DSA, kiosk, and network-security applications.

Processors supported on the IMB203 also include the Intel Core2 Duo and Celeron processors.

The IMB203 incorporates Intel Q45 and ICH10DO chipsets.

It comes with rich expandability, including one PCIe x16, one PCIe x4, one PCI x1 and four PCI slots.

To satisfy increasing demands on data-transfer speed, the ATX motherboard provides twelve USB 2.0 ports and six SATA-300 ports integrated RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 function.
