New ‘AMD Mobile Processor’ Ready SIMA card for ECS PF88 Extreme Hybrid

Milton Keynes, England, Sept 19th, 2005 - Elitegroup Computer Systems (UK) Ltd (ECS), has today announced its brand new platform converter card for the PF88 Extreme Hybrid motherboard, the A4S SIMA Card. This second add-on conversion card for the PF88, now allows end-users to run the latest AMD Turion™ 64 mobile processors.

The PF88 Extreme Hybrid is the industry’s first 64-bit ready motherboard featuring multi-platform support. It can transform an Intel platform to an AMD platform with the use of a SIMA card. Like other ECS Extreme motherboards, the PF88 Extreme also comes with the company’s proprietary dynamic overclocking technology, Instant Overclocking Controller (I.O.C.).

In addition to supporting the conversion of an Intel platform to AMD Athlon™ 64 and Sempron™ processors, the partnership of the PF88 and the new A4S SIMA Card allows users to experience the quieter, higher performance and lower power consumption delivered by the new AMD Turion™ 64 mobile processors, without the need of buying a brand new motherboard.

The A4S SIMA card comes with Socket 754, SiS756 North Bridge and accommodates a maximum of 2GB of DDR400 SDRAM memory with its two on-board memory slots. Built-in HyperTransport™ compliant bus driver technology delivers up-to 1600MT/s system bus throughput.
