St. Albans, UK, September 13th 2004 - Boston Limited, in conjunction with Supermicro, is pleased to announce stock availability on Supermicro’s vast new range of Lindenhurst (E7520/E7530) chipset based motherboards; in addition to launching over 40 new motherboards, no fewer than 50 new optimized chassis have also been added to the already significant range. This revolutionary range of 64/32-bit capable platforms redefines existing industry standards with the launch of the most powerful, cost-effective platforms available to date.



Based on the latest generation of Intel® Xeon™ 3.6GHz processors (codename: Nocona) and supporting an 800MHz system bus, these platforms afford the high-end desktop, server and workstation marketplace with a wide range of innovative platforms.



An extensive list of groundbreaking technologies is incorporated into the new range providing outstanding performance, stability and reliability at a highly competitive price point. The range of new technology features includes: PCI Express, DDRII memory, Extended Memory 64 Technology, Hyper-Threading and some even with Memory Mirroring.



Management features have becoming increasingly important. All motherboards come with SuperDoctor III® software from Supermicro. Many motherboards also have the ability to take part in the industry standard known as IMPI; Supermicro have implemented the latest version 2.0 of this standard.



PCI-Express is, perhaps, the most noticeable change in engineering. One of the key beneficiaries of this standard is in graphics technology where performance can be increased four fold from the existing standard AGP.



One of the most significant partners in harnessing PCI-Express for graphics, will undoubtedly be NVIDIA® and their SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) multi GPU technology. Utilising two PCI-Express graphics cards, image processing speeds will boost image quality and performance to a level, probably, not experienced since the birth of 3D graphics engines for the PC market. Already we are seeing an interesting trend with SLI technology being targeted by both the high-end workstation/server industry AND the gaming community. Unsurprisingly Supermicro already has motherboards taking advantage of this environment.
