Designed in a unique chipset architecture this technology provides the best balance between value and performance for any comparable solution in the industry.

Performance Solution for Everyday Computing and Home Entertainment

Today’s media-rich applications require PC solutions with robust processing power. As users increasingly create and edit digital content on their PCs, they need systems that can seamlessly manage large amounts of data. ATI Radeon Xpress 200P is designed to fully meet the increased system bandwidth requirements placed on today’s PCs and is optimized to work with the latest PCI Express graphics cards. The ATI Radeon Xpress 200P offers best-of class performance for networking and storage in a chipset architecture. It offers performance that can effortlessly scale from everyday multimedia applications to high-definition 3D gaming. You can add any ATI Radeon PCI Express graphics card to customize your system to fit your performance needs.

Universal Connectivity

The chipset platform offers universal connectivity with popular peripheral devices using USB 2.0, digital cameras, CD drives, DVD burners, scanners, printers and more, to turn your PC into a communications hub. It allows system integrators to configure system performance to meet customers’ needs for maximum power by adding high-performance discrete ATI Radeon graphics cards and broad line of multimedia solutions. Whether you are interested in 3D gaming or outstanding home entertainment, you can push the ATI Radeon Xpress 200P to maximum performance with additional graphics processors.

Secure and Dependable Platform

ATI Radeon Xpress 200P helps to guard your data with AMD Enhanced Virus Protection for Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2, with protection against buffer overflow virus attacks. You can enjoy your system with confidence with AMD’s VPU Recover™ technology that adds stability by reducing system crashes and reboots and improving data recovery to keep you focused on your work and game play.

The platform also supports RAID technology for extra protection. RAID can be used to mirror all the hard disk content to protect data from catastrophic damage and provides “auto rebuild” capability for data recovery.

Optimum Value for Future-Proof Performance

ATI Radeon Xpress 200P is built for 64-bit computing to enable users with seamless transition from today’s 32-bit applications to tomorrow’s 64-bit applications. This next-generation architecture offers innovative technologies for networking, storage, security, and system performance and upgradeability to future operating system and applications to protect your technology investment over the long term. ATI Radeon Xpress 200P uses AMD Cool‘n’Quiet™ technology that can effectively lower the power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance on demand to conserve power.
