PCI Express - The Next Step in Bus Architecture.
PCI Express is a brand new high-performance technology developed by Intel that delivers up to 16x AGP graphics bus speeds and low latency for more instantenous response times. The essential need for bus performance is growing dramatically as PCs continue to strive for graphically rich video realism that demands the movement and manipulation of large chunks of data. Video editors, graphics designers, CAD users, engineers and land surveyors will find system performance will dramatically increase in all bus related sub-systems that will minimize any cost in efficiency with respect to the Millennia 8000's Intel Pentium 4 CPU. The PCI Express x16 graphics interface delivers increased bandwidth and scalability over previous generation AGP8X-based solutions. With up to 4 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction, and up to 8 GB/s concurrent bandwidth, a platform configured with a PCI Express x16 graphics card can tackle the most demanding multimedia tasks.

Centrino optmized Nvidia Geforce Go 6600/6800.
The Millennia 8000 comes equipped with the latest offerings from Nvidia, producing outstanding performance results whilst minimizing power consumption. Based on the acclaimed GeForce 6 Series desktop GPU architecture, the GeForce Go 6600 (Millennia 8001) and 6800 (Millennia 8002) delivers a groundbreaking suite of innovations for notebook computing, including exclusive support of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, and NVIDIA PureVideo technology, which brings a high-definition home-theater experience to users on the go.

Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 Support
The first and only mobile GPU with support for Shader Model 3.0, the GeForce Go 6800 powers the hottest games of today and tomorrow, giving developers the freedom to create breathtaking visual effects and environments.

NVIDIA® UltraShadow™ II Technology
Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software's Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. Second-generation technology delivers more than 4× the shadow processing power over the previous generation.

NVIDIA PureVideo Technology
Watch videos on your notebook PC or HDTV without the annoying artifacts and imperfections of traditional PC-based video solutions. NVIDIA PureVideo technology delivers smooth HD video in all formats and with superb picture clarity. And the high precision subpixel processing enables videos to be scaled to any size so that even small videos look like HD videos.

17" WSXGA or WUXGA LCD SCreen.
The world's largest widescreen LCD for notebooks is at it's most premium in the Milennia 8000. The ultra-high contrast ratio brings out the vividness of any graphics you output to either of a choice of LCDs available - WSXGA+ CSV(Millennia 8001) or WUXGA CSV(Millennia 8002). Watch DVD movies with cinematic pleasure and view your favourite family photos in high-definition detail in full screen 16:10 aspect ratio. The super clear glossy surface promotes crips definition in both choices of LCDs with the WUXGA 1920x1200 resolution (Millennia 8002) producing an incredible 178% more viewing space then a regular WXGA screen. View graphics, photos and videos that are life-like and full of brilliant colour and definition. Fit two or three web pages side by side or all your CAD drafting tools and drawings without an extended desktop screen.

Virtual 8 Channel HD Audio System.
Up until now, high definition audio systems were afforded only by music and audio buffs or those with cash to burn. With the introduction of Intel's new high definition Audio (Azalia) compliance in the Millennia 8000's audio capabilties, users can enjoy high definition audio in 8 channels as a standard. Games will be played with richer and more realistc 3D audio environments and videos can be watched with an incredibly more immersive experience.

Extensive Multimedia Input/Output features.
The Millennia 8000's video and audio subsystem boasts 5.1 surround sound output jacks, an s-video input jack and audio-input jack for complete audio/video enhancement to external components.

802.11g (54Mbps) Wifi and Bluetooth
Wireless freedom now made easy and completely invisible through the optional built-in integration of the industry's most popoular long and short range wireless protocols. 802.11g running at the new enhanced speed of 54Mbps does away with your office or home's blue coloured cat 5 or UTP cable with up to a 300m range. With such additional technologies as 128-bit WEP encryption and VPN pass-through, the Millennia 8000 can be trusted to be as secure as it is convenient.
Bluetooth is technology that wirelessly interconnects peripherals and devices to your Millennia 8000 with a typical range of 10m to 100m. Examples include speaker/microphone headsets, printers, mice and keyboards and of course mobile phones and because many of these devices can be connected simultaneously, you can imagine the potential functionality you could achieve with your Millennia 8000. Control your Millennia 8000 from the back of the presentation room with either your mouse or voice or a combination of both and then produce some "on-the-fly" output to your audience to several printers at once.
