Manufacturer's description

The XC Cube EZ482, which has a 939-pin socket and supports AMD Athlon 64 CPUs, is the first K8 XC Cube which can run the 64-bit Windows XP operating system.

The XC Cube EZ482 supports AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor to ensure higher performance. Take multi-tasking to a whole new era with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor!

The EZ482 provides an YPbPr and S-Video connector and is built with a High Definition AC97 7.1 audio interface so that it can be connected to high-end home entertainment products such as HDTV and cinematic sound systems. Because the system offers both coaxial and optical S/PDIF outputs, the EZ482 can be connected to all digital audio amplifiers. Additionally the system is equipped with 1 optical S/PDIF input.

In addition to the strong audio/video performance, the EZ482 is built with a unique and proprietary CPU cooler, based on heat pipe technology, which contains heat dissipation liquid inside the heat pipe and ensures a better thermal performance. It goes without saying that the new product inherits the other features of AOpen's XC Cube series PCs, including easy assembly, aesthetic housing design, silence, and high expandability.

Because the system is based on the ATI RS482 and IXP450 chipsets, the system memory can be expanded to 2 GB. DDR memory modules operating at 266/333/400 MHz can be installed in the system. Featuring four S-ATA ports, four high-speed hard drives can be installed to the system. If four 250 GB hard drives are installed to the system, the total hard drive capacity will amount to 1, 000 GB. The EZ482 comes with a 10/100/1000 LAN connector. Furthermore, the system provides eight USB 2.0 ports - two on the front panel, two on the rear panel, and four on-board. Those users who want to have more USB ports can add an AOpen XC Cube Expander which can provide more USB connectors to the users. Two 1394 connectors are accessible from the rear panel and one from the front panel. The system board provides one PCI and one PCI Express x16 expansion slot.
