Fresh out of the box at VIA is a new motherboard for the desktop PC market. The VIA pc3500 was designed for super low power and can run Windows Vista at less than half the power required to get you a Category A certification with Energy Star. In addition, a system based around the VIA pc3500 mainboard draws only 1.09 watts in Sleep Mode, and 0.68 watts in Standby (Off Mode); it even draws under 35 watts when playing back a DVD, one of the most power-intensive computing applications.
VIA says the new boards were designed to meet the growing worldwide demand for energy-efficient PCs. As the latest addition to the VIA pc-1 Initiative mainboard line, the pc3500 aims to empower millions of people to improve their quality of life through technology, especially in emerging markets.
