Looking for who said what in the sound world? Well there is no better place to find every audio related press release than 3DsoundSurge.!

The LE370 motherboard is designed for Intel's Pentium II Celeron processor in a 370-pin PPGA package in speeds ranging from 300 MHz to 533 MHz, and capable of moving to higher speeds in the future. An Aureal Vortex audio processor and supporting hardware will be built-in -- to deliver high-quality standard audio features as well as A3D positional audio for unsurpassed digital audio imaging.

The motherboard features other advanced features such as ``PC Health Monitoring'' through three onboard thermal sensors and a ``Jumper Inside'' user friendly BIOS configuration scheme. The motherboard features three 168-pin DIMM sockets, 8MB to 768MB of unbuffered ECC SDRAM, and will offer one AGP, five PCI, and two ISA expansion slots.

``By integrating Aureal's Vortex and A3D technologies into the LE370, Iwill is cost-effectively providing its customers with the best on-board audio possible,'' said Irene Shih, Iwill's Marketing Manager. ``Building an audio processing system into the motherboard improves audio performance, eliminates the need for a separate sound card, and frees up an additional PCI slot -- which is valuable real-estate for PC builders.''

``We're pleased to be working with Iwill to bring Aureal's Vortex and A3D to its customers,'' said Michael Hunter, Aureal's Vice President of Sales. ``Combining top audio technology with advanced CPU capabilities and excellent systems design will ensure a powerful computing platform for users of the Iwill LE370.''
