Mainboard-Specifications

Developing the PEGASOS platform bplan GmbH of Germany brings PowerPC^® performance to Power Users!

By using a modular system design, the mainboard can be easily upgraded to fit the varying needs and demands of today. With well-accepted standard interfaces already integrated into the PEGASOS mainboard, users will be able to easily connect standard components (such as hard drives or CD-Rom drives ) and a wide range of high-end devices such as digital video cameras to the system.

While PEGASOS itself is widely scalable to the users' needs, it is an easy task for retailers or OEM partners to configure the system according to their specific demands. By hitting the best price/performance point for the selected configuration, systems with one CPU (at entry level) up to multi-processor G4 based cluster computers can be build using the same base hardware.
