AST Computer Integrates Technology Firsts in New Bravo MS 5000 Series Commercial Desktops
Ground-Breaking Industrial Design and Cutting-Edge Hardware and Software Respond To Customers' Need For The Foremost Combination of Performance and Value
AST Computer sets new standards in corporate computing with the introduction of its latest line of ergonomically-designed Bravo MS commercial desktop systems, which incorporate industry firsts for enhanced usability and business productivity. The Bravo MS systems are the industry's first ``Silent PCs,'' incorporating System Noise Reduction (SNR) technology, making the new systems up to 70 percent quieter than competitive desktop PCs. AST's new FlexChassis is the industry's first NLX design, allowing easy access to the inside of the computer with the simple push of a button, making system upgrades and service a snap. Available in desktop or minitower form factors, the Bravo MS systems incorporate either a 200MHz Intel Pentium processor or a 166MHz or 200MHz Intel Pentium Processor with MMX technology, 32MB SDRAM standard (expandable to 256MB), 512KB Level 2 cache, integrated PCI-based ATI 3D RAGE II+ graphics controller with synchronous graphics RAM (SGRAM), integrated Intel 10/100 Ethernet, Intel 430TX PCI chipset, an UltraDMA-33 hard drive and Intel LANDesk Client Manager 3.0 software for DMI asset management. With an estimated street price starting at $1,795, the Bravo MS line provides one of the best performance/value ratios in the industry.
Delivering the ultimate computing solutions for high-performance business users, AST Computer today announced its innovative new line of Bravo MS desktop computers, packed with an unprecedented combination of premiere technologies. AST's Bravo MS powerhouses combine an innovative design with the industry's leading hardware and software, creating a robust computing solution that focuses on lowering the cost of business computing solutions.
``Today's businesses require computing solutions that provide the perfect combination of performance, features and value to maximize productivity - and AST has delivered that with the new Bravo MS,'' said Laura Raybin, AST director, brand marketing. ``AST has responded with a powerful solution that goes beyond computing needs - the Bravo is designed to actually enhance the work environment.''
A Winning Ensemble of Hardware Innovations
Available in desktop or minitower form factors, the Bravo MS systems incorporate either a 200MHz Intel Pentium. processor or a 166- or 200MHz Intel Pentium. Processor with MMX technology, 32MB SDRAM standard - expandable to 256MB, 512KB Level 2 cache, integrated Intel 10/100 Ethernet, 3D audio and an Intel 430TX PCI chipset.
Keyfeatures in the newest lineup of Bravo MS systems.
AST FlexChassis -- AST makes serviceability a snap with the first flexible chassis based on Intel's new NLX standard. With a simple push of a button, components such as memory and the CPU can easily be accessed and serviced, dramatically reducing the time it takes to upgrade systems. With the simple flip of a lever, the motherboard slides out - making upgrades easy and simple. AST's ground-breaking industrial design dramatically reduces upgrades and service time, allowing users to access the 6 major system components: RAM, CPU, CD-ROM, floppy drive, hard drive and video RAM -- within seconds!
System Noise Reduction Technology -- AST breaks new ground by introducing the industry's first ``Silent PC.'' Building upon its roots as a pioneer in ``Green PC'' technology, AST is the first manufacturer to equip its desktop computers with SNR technology. First introduced in Europe by AST, SNR tackles office noise pollution head-on: reducing system noise by as much as 70 percent as compared to standard PCs. A huge relief to offices with numerous computers operating simultaneously, SNR is also helpful when engaged in conference calls, training sessions or when conducting research. System noise reduction is one of the biggest advances in computer design in years. By incorporating a noise-dampening enclosure, the mechanical noise emitted from the hard drive is reduced. A variable speed fan inside the power supply keeps the system cool, while operating quietly. Now, companies have an insurance policy against 'white noise pollution.'
UltraDMA-33 -- The Bravo MS also incorporates the latest revolution in IDE hard drive technology, UltraDMA-33. Providing a 10 percent performance increase over standard Programmed Input/Output (I/O) Mode 4, the Bravo MS boots faster and runs demanding applications more smoothly. All new Bravo MS systems feature Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.), which allows the hard drive to communicate reliability status and can therefore help to prevent problems before they actually occur.
ATI RAGE II+ -- Maximizing 3D features and graphics performance, the Bravo MS line incorporates the ATI RAGE II+, enhancing effects such as video texturing and Gouraud shading.
Integrated Ethernet and 16-bit Audio -- The Bravo MS features an integrated Intel 10/100 Ethernet card, and according to Intel, provides as much as a 15 percent performance enhancement over other network cards. For a new level of 3D stereo sound, AST includes a Soundblaster-compatible 16-bit integrated audio with 3D effects and a high-quality FM synthesizer.
AST- CommandCenter Puts Users In Control
The Bravo MS offers supreme manageability with AST-CommandCenter, one of the most comprehensive desktop management software utility packages available. Offering outstanding software solutions from the industry's leading software manufacturers, the Bravo MS provides users with the tools they need to increase office productivity. AST-CommandCenter makes management of data and systems faster, more logical and cost-effective. This software package provides a method for tracking hardware and software components currently residing on a particular PC, system security, anti-virus protection and much more.
