Sun's new NetraTM AX1105-500 motherboard is designed to enable highly customized and embedded solutions in today's most demanding computing environments. The key motivation behind designing a new generation ATX form factor board is increasing performance while lowering the cost of the Netra AX1105 motherboard, resulting in a lower selling price. Some of the cost savings were realized through lower cost of manufacturing the CPU through better quality control to get higher yield, highly integrate the CPU with other functionalities such as internal L2 cache, using industry standard packaging, using PC standard memory modules (PC133) and EIDE disks, lower cost of overall manufacture through tight quality control, less errors to correct, providing performance upgrades to customers with lower speed products, CPU speed upgrade to build newer and faster systems and increase the memory capacity to 2GB.
