ZOTAC’s Mini-ITX mobo with dual core Atom and NVIDIA Ion platform

Zotac IONITX-A

When NVIDIA announced the Ion platform for the Intel Atom processor, I have to admit, I was intrigued. The thought of coupling the Atom processor with the GeForce 9400M GPU was certainly enticing because one could finally build a system with decent 3D graphics and video performance..and one could potentially do it on the cheap.

Yet as the months went by, news related to the Ion platform was few and far between.. that is until now. A company called ZOTAC has announced a new Mini-ITX motherboard product coupling the NVIDIA Ion platform with a dual core Atom processor (the N330) called the IONITX-A-U. The full specs are as follows:

  • Intel Atom N330 1.6GHz dual core processor
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video
  • Mini-ITX form factor
  • D-Sub, DVI, HDMI video ports
  • 10 USB ports (6 on back panel and 4 via pin header)
  • 24 pin – 90 watt PSU included
  • RAID 0, 1, 0+1
  • 5.1 channel audio
  • Measures 6.7 x 6.7 inches
  • DDR2 667/800 MHz memory support (2 slots)
