Linux users are now able to enjoy the powerful platform
instantly out-from-the-box, as the motherboard integrated
peripheral device drivers is officially available and
validated.��
GIGABYTE supports Intel as the platform
of choice regardless of software environment.
GIGABYTE now provides Linux-based PCs which allow users
to enjoy a computing platform featuring choice, flexibility
and innovation.
The Linux ready models are:
GA-8I915ME-GV, Intel 915GV chipset based motherboard
GA-8I915ME-GL, Intel 915GL chipset based motherboard.
"We are providing our customers with PC platforms that offer optimal choice for their computing needs." said Frank Ehrig, Marketing Director Intel Channel Software Operation. The new offerings from Gigabyte give users the freedom to choose the computing platform and software solution that best satisfies their business requirements
The GIGABYTE Linux ready motherboards offer
a wide range of never-seen-before features focusing
on not only performance, but also an improved user experience.
With support for LGA775 Intel® Pentium® 4 processors,
GIGABYTE motherboards deliver increased computing power
as well as greater system responsiveness and flexibility
in a variety of software applications from 3D graphics
animations to audio and video encoding.
For guaranteed future-proofing and scalability, the
GIGABYTE Linux ready motherboards are built on the most
powerful next-generation graphics platform �V PCI Express.
The new PCI Express interconnects provide benefit from
both increased bandwidth and scalability, with up to
4GB/s of one-directional and 8GB/s of concurrent bandwidth.
The result is true to life graphics rendered with unbelievable
color, realism and speed for the ultimate gaming experience! |
