Built upon the PegasosPPC mainboard and the Freescale 1GHz MPC7447 PowerPC processor, the award winning Open Desktop Workstation is the only Linux PowerPC solution available on the market today endorsed by both IBM and Freescale Semiconductor.

When something this good comes along, it's not surprising how quickly everyone finds an excuse to grab one. Afterall, the Open Desktop Workstation is small, light in weight and relatively portable, meets the micro-ATX industry compliance which means you can you build-out an ODW to your own design; and best of all --It is fully supported by Linux!

Consider the possibilites:
  • A home or office workstation.
  • A lean, mean email, FTP, web, and database server.
  • A more-than-you-really-need MP3 server.
  • A serious PowerPC code development workstation with on-board AltiVec.
  • With OEM Linux suppport, the possiblities are endless ...
  • The Pegasos is designed around a removable CPU card which can be upgraded to future, higher speed CPU cards based upon the 7447A/7498 architecture. The Pegasos complies with industry standard micro-ATX, enabling you to use commodity components such as ATA hard drives, DDR memory and CD/DVD writers, and USB and IEEE1394 (FireWire) peripherals.
