Looks like SFF AM2 platforms are making appearances.
Based on the latest Radeon Xpress 1150 chipset and new SB600 Southbridge
from ATI, Sapphire's new model PE-AM2RS485M combines support for AMD's
powerful AM2 Athlon64TM, FX and dual core processor families with the
most complete set of on-board features available today.
Supporting up to 4GB of Dual Channel DDR2 memory, this mainboard is
ready to deliver the performance demanded by today's office and
multimedia applications. The integrated on board graphics technology
supports DirectX9 Shader model 2.0 for enhanced video performance either
on a VGA monitor or via the TV output provided.
One PCI-Express x16, one PCI-Express x1 and two standard PCI slots meet
the need for expansion, and a full range of onboard communications
include Realtek 10/100Mbps LAN and ten USB 2.0 ports as well as a legacy
parallel port and com port. High Definition audio is also integrated
on-board and delivers 8-channel surround sound and SPDIF out. Peak hard
drive performance is assured with four SATA-II connectors as well as IDE
ATA133 and FDD connectors.
I'd say thats a pretty full featured board for SFF. Take a look here. (http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/media/pressview.php?pid=61) Motherboard Specs (http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=158&grp=6)
