Small Form Factor System Enables Embedded Applications With High-end
Graphics and I/O
BOSTON, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampro Computers, Inc., a leading
supplier of standards-based computer systems and single board computers,
introduced today at the Embedded Systems Conference the new
MightySystem(TM) computer based on the MightyBoard(TM) family of embedded
single board computers. The new MightySystem is a turn-key computer system
in a Mini-ITX form factor that allows OEMs and solution providers to build
systems that greatly improves graphics and data processing performance in a
small footprint.
MightySystem enables high resolution displays up to 2048 x 1526 75Hz
CRT and 24-bit LVDS resolution up to 1600 x 1200. Additionally,
MightySystem products complement Ampro's ReadySystem industrial computers
adding Mini-ITX enclosures and offering support for Intel(R) processors up
to 2.0 GHz with PCI Express(TM) graphics and I/O, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial
ATA (SATA) storage, USB 2.0, up to 2GB DDR2 RAM, and ACPI power management.
"With Ampro's new MightySystem we continue expanding our system
offerings providing our customers high value leading-edge technologies,"
said Joanne Mumola Williams, president and CEO of Ampro. "Out MightySystem
uses the world's smallest PCI express motherboard and brings a new level of
performance to embedded computers allowing our customers to quickly deploy
new technologies in digital media applications such as media information
terminals, gaming and digital advertising."
This system allows for extraordinary flexibility in building a
computing solution without performance constraints. It is an ideal solution
for a media PC or an A/V center environment. Optical storage is available
with a slim line DVD-ROM/CD-RW for media centric applications. The small
form factor system allows OEMs and system integrators to build high
performance while making it very easy to work inside the enclosure.
Media playback, Direct3D(TM) gaming and multimedia authoring are among
the targeted applications for MightySystem computers as well as a host of
other custom PC solutions. For media applications quality is an important
issue and Ampro's MightySystem has the performance to eliminate
scintillation ("jaggies") block noise, double imaging and tearing that
reduce the image quality with other systems. Supporting both CRT and LVDS
video interfaces, MightySystems are well-suited for digital media, gaming
and other graphics- intensive applications.
A MightySystem based on the MightyBoard 800 offers up to 1.4GHz Pentium
M and includes Intel(R) Extreme Graphics 2 controller for both CRT and LVDS
video display output. Additionally it includes AC97 Audio, Four (4) USB
ports, one (1) Gigabit and one (1) 10/100 Ethernet ports and up to 1GByte
DDR memory.
A MightyBoard 821 based system offers a choice of 2.0 GHz Pentium(R) M
760 or 1.5 GHz Celeron(R) M 370 processor, along with the Intel(R) 915GM
chipset and up to 2GB DDR2 533 RAM using two DIMM slots. A rich set of I/O
includes (6) USB 2.0 ports, both EIDE and Serial ATA interfaces, (2) Intel
82573 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet ports, x16 ("by-sixteen") PCI Express
slot for high- end graphics as well as integrated chipset graphics.
Ampro's MightySystem computer products are available with Windows(R)
XP, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, and a full Linux(R) 2.6 distribution
to help customers, OEMs, and system integrators rapidly deploy Ampro
products into their small form factor application environments.
