High-end graphics computer

Ampro Computers has introduced the MightySystem computer based on the MightyBoard family of embedded single board computers.

The system is a turnkey device in a Mini-ITX form factor that allows OEMs and solution providers to build systems that improve graphics and data processing performance in a small footprint.

It enables high resolution displays up to 2048 x 1526 75 Hz CRT and 24 bit LVDS resolution up to 1600 x 1200. The system complements ReadySystem industrial computers by adding Mini-ITX enclosures and offering support for Intel processors up to 2.0 GHz with PCI Express graphics and I/O, gigabit ethernet, serial ATA storage, USB 2.0, up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM and ACPI power management.

This system allows flexibility in building a computing system without performance constraints. It is suitable for a media PC or an A/V centre. Optical storage is available with a slim line DVD-ROM/CD-RW for media centric applications.

Media playback, Direct3D 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.

The computer offers up to 1.4 GHz Pentium M and includes Intel Extreme Graphics 2 controller for both CRT and LVDS video display output. Additionally, it includes AC97 audio, four USB ports, one gigabit and one 10/100 ethernet port and up to 1 GB DDR memory.

There is a choice of 2.0 GHz Pentium M 760 or 1.5 GHz Celeron M 370 processors, along with the Intel 915GM chipset and up to 2 GB DDR2 533 RAM using two DIMM slots.
