You typically get USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet (Realtek), and audio jacks. Nothing fancy, but it works.

The is a widely utilized OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component found in various legacy HP Compaq business desktops . If you are looking to repair, maintain, or maximize the performance of a budget PC built around this board, understanding its technical foundation is essential.

When paired with mid-tier silicon like an Intel Core i5, the integrated HD graphics or a low-profile graphics card handle baseline video rendering and lightweight vector design work seamlessly. Proprietary Limitations & Upgrade Challenges

: Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 , with a dedicated AGP 8X slot for discrete video card upgrades.

M.2 slot accepts NVMe PCIe x4 SSDs, offering speeds up to ~4 GB/s. SATA SSD/HDD: Four SATA 6Gb/s ports are compatible with standard 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs.

The Pegatron IPSHB-AT offers some flexibility for upgrades, but it comes with significant proprietary constraints that must be carefully managed.
