Weeks after annoucing its high end ION ITX-F Mini-ITX board, Zotac has released two new value Mini-ITX motherboards.

The new ION Syergy Edition series Mini-ITX boards feature a PCIe x1 slot with either a single-core 1.6 GHz Atom 230 CPU (ION ITX-E) or dual-core 1.6GHz Atom 330 CPU (ION ITX-G).

Other features include NVIDIA ION integrated graphics, 4 SATA ports, HDMI and DVI output.

Compared to the other Zotac ION boards, these lose the 5.1 HD output via S/PDIF connectors (7.1 still possible via HDMI), and the eSATA port available on the other boards is replaced by a fourth SATA connector.

ION ITX Synergy Edition specifications:

• CPU: Intel Atom 230 (1.6GHz single core - ION ITX-E) / Intel Atom 330 CPU (1.6GHz dual core - ION ITX-G)
• Chipset: NVIDIA ION
• RAM: 2 x 240pin DIMM slots, up to 4 GB of DDR2 667/800 RAM 
• Storage: 4 x SATA ports
• Expansion slots: 1 x PCIe x1, 1 x Mini PCIe slot
• Display: NVIDIA ION Integrated Graphics, 1 x VGA output, 1 x DVI output, 1 x HDMI output
• Audio:  HD Audio (line in, line out, mic in)
• LAN: 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
• I/O: 10 x USB 2.0 (6 x external, 4 x

The MAG features an Intel atom 230 CPU or 330 CPU, NVIDIA ION integrated graphics, HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, eSATA and joins the likes of the AspireRevo and the EeeBox.

Combining a high-performance NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processor with a choice of energy-efficient dual-core Intel® Atom™ 330 or single-core Atom™ 230 processors, the ZOTAC MAG delivers an eco-friendly computing experience that still packs a performance punch in a compact 186mm x 189mm x 38mm package.

The MAG does not come with any pre-installed operating system: Zotac leaves it up to users to chose the one they want to run.

MAG HD-NS01 / HD-ND01 specifications:

• CPU: Intel Atom 230 CPU (1.6GHz - HD-NS01 series) or 330 CPU (1.6GHz dual core - HD-ND01 series)
• Chipset: NVIDIA ION
• RAM: 2 GB of DDR2 800 RAM 
• Display: NVIDIA ION Integrated Graphics, 1 x VGA output, 1 x HDMI output
• Audio: 7.1 Channel HD Audio
• Storage: up to 160GB 2.5in SATA hard drive, 1 x eSATA port
