Overview of Nvidia ION-based motherboards
Having entered the market with its compact and powerful ION systems, Nvidia is hoping to win the hearts of minimalist lovers in the workplace. What is needed for happiness? A huge "coffin" that constantly buzzes and interferes with sleep, or a small, quiet box, which at first glance could not be accepted as a computer, pretending to be just wires. To date, Nvidia has introduced only one motherboard. I want to introduce you to 3 more others.
Here are their characteristics:
DDR-800, FSB 533 Mhz, Mini-ITX, HDMI, VGA, DVI, RAID 0/1, Gbit LAN, 5.1 sound.
And here are their differences:
There is still very little time left when the computer will be even smaller and even more powerful.
And I hope Nvidia will only help this.
