Asus Launches EeeBox B203 With Celeron C220 CPU

Monday Dec 15, 2008

Asus has launched the EeeBox B203 nettop computer.

The Eee Box B203 uses a Celeron C220 CPU (1.2GHz) instead of the Atom N270 CPU present in the Eee Box B202, B204 and B206, for better performance. Worth noting is the use of the 945GC + ICH7 chipset (instead of the 945GSE + ICH7M) which is likely to result in higher power consumption.

It’s as small, eco-friendly, easy-to-use, and quick to boot up as the original Eee Box, but has a faster processor for all-around speedier performance. Programs start up faster, applications run more smoothly, and you can perform more tasks simultaneously!
