VIA Rises to the Challenge for the Energy Star Program
The US EPA’s latest Energy Star requirements had OEMs that distribute to the EU public sector in a tight bind…until now. The new VIA pc3500 motherboard consumes less than 24 watts in idle mode, which is less than half of the 50 watts requirement placed by the Energy Star Program. Even while using a DVD (which we all know consumes power like crazy), the new board consumes under 35 watts. It stands as an impressive Category A system.

Richard Brown, corporate marketing VP for VIA said, “Consumers and business users who purchase PCs based on the VIA pc3500 mainboard will not only be able to significantly reduce their energy costs but also minimize their environmental impact while running all the latest software applications.” Source: PCWorld.com.
