ANNEX distributes Intel desktop power

Johannesburg, 06 Nov 2003

Intel`s Desktop Board D845GVSR is now available through ANNEX Distribution, the supplier of building blocks to the local ICT industry.

The product delivers an integrated graphics solution with essential features designed to support both Intel Celeron and Intel Pentium 4 with a 400/533 front side bus.

"The Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR was designed with a focus on reducing overall platform cost. Features like the Intel 845GV chipset with Intel Extreme Graphics and support for up to 2GB of DDR333/266/200 SDRAM memory, optional onboard Intel PRO 10/100 LAN Network Connection and AC`97 audio combine to provide essential building blocks for the value-oriented customer to use on a low-cost platform. Stability and reliability are the key factors to consider here," explains Bill Gradwell, General Manager of ANNEX Distribution.

Other features include: Intel Rapid BIOS Boot - reduced boot time enables fast system access, Ultra ATA 100/66 that enables fast IDE interface for transfers to storage devices as well as six high-speed USB 2.0 ports - four rear ports and one header for two front-panel USB 2.0 ports.

The Desktop Board also has two DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets that are designed to support up to 2GB of double-data-rate SDRAM memory (DDR333/266/200).

Within the Intel portfolio ANNEX concentrates on three main areas - the CPU, the motherboard and the server products.

"Along with a sprinkling of network products that the corporation is pushing especially from the establishment of `hotspots` point of view. The processor always seems to drive the technology and we are very focused on Intel from a solution-provision point of view and our strategy is based on helping clients to gain value from their solutions, not simply box-drop," adds Gradwell.
