Pentium II's Multimedia Performance with
Micro-ATX Size
---- Spacewalker HOT-671 440EX Chipset
Mainboard
Taipei April 20th 1998 - Shuttle, manufacturer of 'Spacewalker' mainboard,
announced today the release of its HOT-671 440EX chipset mainboard
which will soon be under mass production. Shuttle's Spacewalker mainboard
has been known for providing the most-advanced specifications to the
market with the attributive image of performance, reliability, compatibility,
ease of use & attractive prices. HOT-671 is a multimedia-enhanced recent
model that Shuttle is targeting for the 'Sub-$1000' PC market.
A More Powerful Alternative to the Socket-7 Platform ......
Spacewalker HOT-671(Intel 440EX chipset) mainboard is specifically
designed for Intel's newly-introduced Celeron processor. Optimized for the
Celeron processor, the HOT-671 renders a much better MMX & Floating
Point operation performance than the Socket-7 systems. Many multimedia
applications of today require more computing power than what is available
on ordinary personal computers; with the better MMX & FPU advantages, the
HOT-671 takes multimedia application (in particular, 3D graphics
application) performance to a new level.
A Highly Integrated Multimedia Solution ......
HOT-671 provides an ideal Slot-1 platform for the popular multimedia
computing applications such as AGP 3D graphics/video and 3D surrounding
audio. HOT-671's AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port) 2X feature from the Intel
440EX chipset is identical to that found on the 440LX chipset (link to
HOT-637, HOT-635), and its on-board 3D Wavetable 64-voice feature from
the OPTi933 processor is the same of today's most advanced sound card
(link to HOT-247). HOT-671 brings the latest AGP computing capability and
Wavetable sound functionality, all at an amazing MicroATX form factor
measured at the smallest possible dimension of 244x170mm.
A Full-Featured Mainboard ......
HOT-671 provides all the latest features required by Microsoft's 'PC97'
standard. Its support for Ultra DMA/33 makes the latest high-speed disk
drives function accessible, its Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports enable
instant connectivity to peripherals, its support of 3 PCI and 66-MHz SDRAM
(up to 256MB memory size, 4GB memory address space) guarantees the
system's performance. Micro ATX form factor of the board saves space and
costs of the system. On the power manageability side, the board is designed
with ACPI-compliant (Doze, Standby, Suspend, Soft-Off; LAN Ring-On,
Modem Ring-On and etc. power management modes). Further, the bundled
"Shuttle System Manager" utility keeps user notified of system status (e.g.
CPU & System Volt. & Temp., Cooling Fan motion) at all times, to ensure
healthy operation of the system.
HOT-671 complies with the core needs and affordability required by
most of today's home & business PC users.
