The SBC81206 is billed as a “cost-effective” SBC for telecom, visual inspection, digital surveillance, and ATM systems. The board is equipped with an LGA775 socket, supporting Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Celeron processors, and uses the Intel 945GC Express chipset with GMA950 graphics, according to Axiomtek. Two DIMM sockets are said to support up to 2GB of 533/677MHz DDR2 memory.

Storage support includes four high-speed SATA-300 interfaces, and Axiomtek offers a variant — the SBC81206VGGR — that provides RAID 0/1/10/5 support. The SBC81206 is said to offer dual COM ports, VGA, and PS/2 ports, in addition to the USB and gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
