Sam460ex is a PowerPC modular motherboard engineered and produced by ACube Systems and it is totally made in Italy.
The core of the board is the PowerPC 460EX, a System On Chip (SoC) from Applied Micro which allowed us to build a PowerPC motherboard running at 1.10 Ghz, scalable for different uses and still fanless and very low-power consumption!
