Zotac Packs WiFi and Nvidia Graphics on an Oh-So-Cute Mini-ITX Board

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

The mini-ITX form factor is still alive and kicking, and to prove it, Zotac has just expanded its mini-ITX lineup with the nForce 630i-ITX WiFi motherboard. As the board's nomenclature suggests, WiFi comes integrated with 802.11b/g support, as does graphics chores, which are handled by Nvidia's GeForce 7100 chipset.

The pint-sized board comes ready for Intel's lineup of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors with support for a full 1333MHz frontside bus. RAM support, on the other hand, comes somewhat gimped topping out at DDR2-800 instead of DDR2-1066 or DDR3. Other features include:

  • Eight USB 2.0 ports (four on back panel, four on pin header)
  • Onboard 10/100 Ethernet
  • HD Audio 5.1
  • Dual display ready (VGA / DVI)
  • Four SATA II ports with RAID Support

Not a bad feature-set for a compact board, particularly if you're in the market for an HTPC build, where the integrated WiFi could end up a major selling point.

I'm surprised it's not equipped with GB Ethernet. I would think if someone would want to pick this board up for a media device (Hell, even a little NAS project) it would have a faster network connection on it.
