ECS unveils CrossFire-ready motherboard for 3D gamers and performance enthusiasts on a budget

Milton Keynes, England, Jan 24th, 2006 – Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) today announced the availability of its RD480-A939 CrossFireTM-ready motherboard based on the ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 CrossFireTM chipset supporting the revolutionary AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 CPU.

The ECS RD480-A939 CrossFireTM-ready motherboard offers outstanding graphics and performance to 3D gamers at incredible value.

The RD480-A939 features ECS’ unique S.D.G.E. (Scalable Dual Graphic Engines) technology that allows two PCI Express-based graphic cards to be connected and to operate in tandem on one motherboard. The RD480-A939 is also capable of delivering excellent graphic performance with a single PCI Express graphics card, but by leveraging the power of ATI’s CrossFireTM technology users will experience the ultimate 3D graphic performance with dual graphics cards.

For those who like to tune their systems and push performance to the limit, the RD480-A939 has enormous overclocking potential. Users can tweak a wide array of settings including memory voltage, CPU core voltage and chipset voltage, amongst others to maximize performance.

Even though the RD480-A939 is designed to be a budget CrossFireTM motherboard, it offers a complete range of top features including dual core, advanced 64-bit, high-speed Giga LAN, and eight-channel audio for surround sound that belies its price.

Availability
The RD480-A939 will be available at the end of January 2006. Price £51.50 (ex vat).
