ZOTAC Ships GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi SFF Board

Blink twice, and chances are you've missed something in the whirlwind world of graphics. For instance, ZOTAC's Mini-ITX GeForce 8200-ITX WiFi was just pushed out around three months ago. Today, the same company is announcing that its GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi board is shipping to retailers and distributors worldwide. So much for staying on the cutting edge, huh?

In order to make the lives of SFF builders that much easier, ZOTAC is delivering a mini-ITX platform that comes pre-loaded with NVIDIA's GeForce 9300 CPU. The board is CUDA-ready and supports socket LGA775 Intel processors. The GPU itself includes 16 stream processors along with compatibility with DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1 and NVIDIA CUDA based 3D games and applications. Better still, there's a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot included in case you'd like to pop another graphics card in and take advantage of NVIDIA's
Hybrid SLI technology.



In addition to that, users will find integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and the PureVideo HD technology -- which decodes Blu-ray and other high-definition video formats using the graphics processor -- makes this ideal for small home theater PCs. There's no mention of a price tag, but you can feast your eyes on the complete specifications below.
