AMD Launches Live! Media PC Platform
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Jun 01,2006
A couple of months ago I had mentioned that AMD was planning to launch a Live! brand that was going to be their version of a media center PC. The wait is finally over.

AMD today launched the Live! brand promising similar functionality as Intel's Viiv platform and "real world solutions" with beefed up entertainment center PCs. Live! PCs will act behind the scenes, rather than physically invading the family room, and act as the digital nerve center of your home. AMD has mentioned that a total of 40 system builders will begin offering Live! branded systems in June. Among others, Hewlett-Packard, Gateway, Acer and even performance PC maker Alienware are expected to be offering Live ! systems. Just as Intel's Viiv, Live requires very specific hardware and software requirements. According to AMD, a Live PC requires at least a dual-core AM2-based Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor, needs to run Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system with a capability to upgrade to Windows Vista and display the operating system's Aero Glass graphical interface.
