Today motherboard form factor Mini-ITX enjoyed growing popularity because of the benefits of devices such as their compactness and low power consumption. Taking into account the prevailing trend of the company Sapphire produces two similar solutions:IPC-AM2DD690G and ICP-AM2SO690E. Models based on the logic 690G, and 690E, respectively, while having the support of the central processor socket Socket AM2. Present and the restriction on the maximum heat - up to 65 watts, however, the installation of more powerful microprocessors as the basis for the compact and efficient PCs is hardly justified. Model IPC-AM2DD690G, based on the 690G chipset with integrated graphics core enables us to collect modern multimedia systems that can work with high definition video. This helps to support and interface HDMI, which was a pair of connector D-Sub. The subsystem memory may be made only DIMM-module, is present and one card slot for expansion - not the most modern PCI. Small and the number of ports for connecting drives:Two SATA, one IDE, and a port for installing a floppy drive. But the number of USB ports is enough - the four pre-and connectors for connecting a further four additional USB 2. 0. Support of Ethernet-speed connectivity to 10/100 Mbps. now is to pay attention to the ICP-AM2SO690E, the basis for which was made by the chipset AMD 690E. This model is somewhat more interesting to the previous one, it is equipped with two slots of RAM, however the format SO-DIMM. To install the expansion card is only PCI-slot for the disk subsystem, you can use the services of the two SATA ports and one IDE. Number of ports USB 2. 0 brought to six, there is a connector HDMI, D-Sub, supports Gigabit Ethernet-connected. In conclusion, we note that Sapphire has already started to supply devices to the market, while another card size Mini-ITX, but on the basis of chipset AMD 780G, will be ready for the summer exhibition Computex 2009, which traditionally take place on Taiwan, .
