Milton Keynes, England, 28th February 2007 – Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), the world’s leading motherboard, barebone system, and notebook manufacturer, is set to deliver the multimedia innovations of the AMD-ATI alliance to mid-range PC systems with the release of the AMD690GM-M2 microATX motherboard. Presenting a highly-scalable Socket AM2 AMD Athlon™ 64 FX/Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core/Athlon™ 64 processor, massive 16 GB dual-channel DDR2 800 memory support, integrated ATI Radeon® Express X1250 graphics engine, 8-channel HD audio and expansive connectivity, the AMD690GM-M2 is an ideal platform to run the graphics-driven Windows Vista™ Premium operating system to deliver an ultimate visual and acoustic experience.
Advanced multimedia power inside and out
The ATI Radeon® Express X1250 graphics controller embedded in the AMD690 chipset is fueled with the ATI Avivo™ technology to provide high-definition graphics and videos with life-like colors and unprecedented clarity. With precision processing of graphics and videos from capture to playback, the ATI Avivo™ technology preserves digital fidelity and streams digital graphics and video signals through the digital visual interface (DVI) port present in the AMD690GM-M2. The DVI port readily connects to a wide range of digital displays and maximizes the display quality on these devices. Aside from the guaranteed support for the upcoming Windows Vista™ OS, the AMD690GM-M2’s integrated graphics engine represents a cost-effective solution that lowers energy consumption and over-all system price.
Completing the AMD690GM-M2’s multimedia prowess is the Realtek ALC883 audio codec. The 8-channel HD codec comes with advanced audio processing techniques to produce the clearest and most vibrant surround sound. Through the multi-channel audio jacks or the S/PDIF header, the AMD690GM-M2 supports a range of digital audio systems.
Gifted with liberal connectivity
The AMD690GM-M2 comes with a comprehensive list of I/O interfaces that efficiently connect the platform to wired networks and peripherals. The AMD690GM-M2 supports up to ten USB 2.0 ports for high-speed data transfers. It flawlessly handles high-bandwidth video, voice, and data communications over the Internet via the integrated Gigabit LAN controller. For data storage, the motherboard supports up to four Serial ATA II devices with RAID 0, 1 and 0+1 functionality, and includes a single-channel IDE interface as well. The AMD690GM-M2 also implements the rapid PCI Express® technology with one PCI Express x16 slot for graphics expansion and two PCI Express x1 slots for additional I/O connectivity.
Mid-range platform with long-range reach
Tailor-fit for mid-range systems and applications, the AMD690GM-M2 is manufactured using RoHS-compliant materials and processes, and is tested safe for office and home use.
