GamePC Teams with AMD and Kryotech to Offer 800MHz High-Performance Computer Systems.PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 1999-- GamePC has announced the addition of Kryotech's Cool 800 Athlon based systems to their LiquidX series of computers, the LiquidX-800E and LiquidX-800S for an EIDE (Enhanced IDE) An extension to the IDE interface that supports the ATA-2 and ATAPI standards. ATA-2 (Fast ATA) provides faster transfer rates (see IDE for details) and allows for multiple channels, each connecting two devices. and SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. based system, respectively. The Kryotech case used to cool this system keeps the CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. at a frigid -40(Degree)C using vapor-phase refrigeration ensuring maximum stability. It also comes with a mounted LCD display for the system temperature and an automatic shutdown if the processor overheats so no damage can occur. AMD's Athlon is a seventh generation, triple scalar floating-point unit processor that uses a 200MHz system bus and an expanded 3DNow! instruction set, currently making it the fastest x86 generation processor on the market. The specs of the LiquidX-800E will include the Athlon processor thermally accelerated to 800MHz, a Microstar main board, Kryotech cooling system with case and a PC Power and Cooling PC Power and Cooling is a former California-based company that manufactured computer power supplies. PC Power and Cooling was founded in 1985 and based in Carlsbad, California. On May 25, 2007, the company was acquired by OCZ Technology. 300-Watt Turbo Cool power supply. Other components are two 22GB IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Deskstar hard drives connected using Promise Technologies FastTrak66 RAID Level 0 controller card for 44GB of high-throughput performance, 384MB of EMS's PC133 HSDRAM HSDRAM High Speed Dynamic Random Access Memory HSDRAM High Speed Synchronous Dynamic Ram , a Matrox 32MB G400 MAX dual head (for multiple monitor output) video card and a Pioneer 103S slot loading DVD player. The LiquidX-800S will include the same basic components except for an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller connected to two 18GB Quantum Atlas 10k Ultra160/m hard drives for 36GB of fast SCSI performance. Other differences include a Plextor 40x Ultrawide SCSI CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). and a Pioneer 303S SCSI slot loading DVD player. Phil Chiang, Vice President of GamePC states, "The performance of the Athlon processor is simply amazing even without being overclocked. But with this new LiquidX series of computers, we've taken performance to a whole new level." LiquidX configurations may be custom built for the customer's specific needs and ordered from GamePC's web site around the end of September. Pricing has yet to be determined.
