The ION ITX A Series is an incredibly comprehensively specified little package.

It has Intel’s incredibly efficient Atom Dual Core N330 chip paired with Nvidia’s new ION integrated chipset. The addition of an onboard 90w power supply only adds to the already impressive feature lineup.

Gigabit lan and fast wireless N WiFi support are further valuable additions to the spec sheet too.

Indeed, the onboard GPU combined with the integrated HDMI output means the board offers a low power ITX form factor capable of full HD playback for HTPC use. This means the ION ITX Series A should appeal to a great many people.
