Technical Specifications for the Laredo Cuadrado

IYCC released its first product, the Laredo Cuadrado on January 24, 2007.

The Laredo Cuadrado (tm) is priced at $399 and is based on the ASUS M2A-VG motherboard, which is powered by AMD's RS690 platform. The RS690 combines the ATI SB600 chipset with Radeon X1200 series graphics.

UPDATE: We have upgraded the Laredo Cuadrado in several respects since this page was written, and we are working on rewriting it. Most notably, we have upgraded to the Athlon 64 processor to enable faster throughput for the 32 bit operating system and applications. If you have specific questions about the technical aspects of the Laredo Cuadrado, please give us a call.
