The FIC Ice-Cube now supports the latest Athlon 64 CPUs using NVIDIA’s nForce3 chipset. NVIDIA’s nForce3 provides a core system technology that delivers maximum performance, reliability, and compatibility for the 64-bit computing environments enabled by the Athlon 64 platform.

“For months we have received countless requests from gamers asking FIC to produce an AMD based version of our award winning Ice-Cube,” stated Alex Mei, Global Marketing Manager, First International Computer, Inc. “Today we are excited to introduce our latest Ice-Cube which is able to unleash the full potential of the latest Athlon64 CPU technology. By employing the advanced nForce3 chipset, this latest Ice-Cube will deliver a new level of performance never before experienced with any portable cube.”

The new Athlon 64 Ice-Cube includes a number of chilling new features. An all new cooling solution increases the Ice-Cube’s stability and reduces noise by using an ingenious combination of heat pipe and venting. However, gamers won’t be disappointed, as the cooler still has the integrated light to give their systems that cool, ice-blue glow. In addition to the new cooling solution, a new, cutting-edge chassis design, promotes even more airflow, helping to drastically reduce system temperature ensuring the Ice-Cube will always deliver stability for all your most demanding applications, and next generation 3D games.

The new chassis also includes a redesigned handle. More ergonomic and comfortable to use, the new handle design still provides the same great portability for gamers who want to take it with them. Of course, it is not just the outside that is different. With the new Athlon 64 CPU, gamers can experience the devastating performance that NVIDIA’s nForce3 brings to their killer apps.
