Via Epia SN Delivers Unparalleled Speed in Tiny Frame

12:00PM September 18, 2007 | Yuri Baranovsky

The Via Epia SN is one of the smallest and definitely one of the fastest motherboards around and it’s guaranteed to give every gamer a triple orgasm. The first model of this type to have a 1.8GHz CPU and a 16x PCIe slot, the Epia SN also has four SATA ports, a CF card connector, dual-LAN network ports, an Ultra DMA port and WiFi.

The prize here is the Via C7 CPU — which, when combined with a high-end video card, will make you drool in gamer-delight. The Epia SN should be available in November for businesses and hopefully to consumers shortly thereafter — no word on the price yet, but I’m thinking it’ll hurt. [Via via Wired] More »
