Taipei Hsien, Taiwan and Reykjavik, Iceland – 23 March, 2009 – Albatron Technology has announced today that the current series of NVIDIA VGA Cards will bundle the epic MMORPG, EVE Online, one of the most popular action-strategy online games available worldwide.

EVE Online – Epic Galactic Conflict

Brilliant nebulas, endless asteroid belts and celestial planets within the vastness of empty space are the backdrop to a galactic conflict between empires and independent warring factions as they vie for territory, wealth and power. Build your own fleet of customized ships with superb detail and exquisite variety to patrol space, fully loaded with sophisticated weaponry and the ability to leap stars with a breathtaking "warp" technology. You can easily maneuver your perspective on the 3D landscape by dragging and pulling your mouse in any direction. It's simply nothing short of amazing.

EVE Online boasts over a quarter of a million subscribers from around the world all playing on a single server. Players join empires, form alliances, mine for resources, trade commodities and of course, go to war. The EVE website ( www.eveonline.com) provides full support for its burgeoning user community with free expansions, frequent updates, user forums, tournament announcements, knowledge base, trailers and more.

EVE Online Bundle & NVIDIA Graphics Technology – Playable from all levels.

EVE Online is amazingly playable from many levels of NVIDIA VGA cards and can even be played on systems using traditional modems for internet connections.
