More Goodies at Albatron

The Albatron PXQ965 is based on the Intel Q965 Express chipset with built-in Intel GMA 950 graphics. The Q965 is paired with the new ICH8 south bridge which supports six SATA 3G RAID ports. Similar to the PXP965, don't be deceived by the second full length PCIe slot as it just contains a single PCIe lane. The board also comes with a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet LAN port and an eight-channel Realtek High Definition Audio codec.

The Albatron PXG965 is based on the Intel G965 Express chipset. The features and design of the board is similar to the PXQ965.

Albatron's new concept PC called the Nano PC is basically based on a highly integrated system utilizing Intel's latest Core Duo/Solo processors. It supports SO-DIMM DDR2-533/667 memory (similar to notebooks) of up to 4GB and it has a built-in Gigabit Ethernet LAN port and an eight-channel Realtek audio codec. It comes with a 3-in-1 card reader supporting SD, MS and MMC and it is Intel Viiv compatible as well.

The new Albatron PX975X is the world's first motherboard with a lifetime warranty. Yes, they've gone nuts with their warranty terms but they believe that their product quality will not fail users that easily. The PX975X may look just like any other motherboard but its components are of top notch quality, so much so that Albatron is confident that it will last the user a lifetime.

If you take a closer look at the Albatron PX975X, all the capacitors are using high quality server grade OS-Con capacitors. It also features dual power support (notice the two ATX power connectors on the lower left?), a digital clock generator for the best overclocking stability and DirectFET power transistors.

A closer look at the DirectFET power transistors (the silver rectangular shaped components) which deliver cleaner power to the processor while dissipating lesser heat. There are seven PWM phases on the PX975X, which means less burden on the transistors even when using a power hungry processor.
