Computex 07: Mini PC in Albatron mode

Another computer was made in the spirit of the mini-ITX standard.

Albatron also introduced two types of mini motherboards that could be twins at first glance. The only difference is the processor socket integrated into the board. The KI690-S1 supports S1 footprint processors designed for AMD's mobile platform, while the KJ690-AM2 has the AM2 socket typical of desktop processors.

The two cards are based on the AMD Radeon X1250 graphics chipset, due to their size we can only use SO-DIMMs up to DDR2-667 MHz. Despite its small size, we can connect up to 4 SATA devices to the motherboards, and send our HD videos to our expensive LCD TV via the HDMI connector on the back.
