Sega Lindbergh (Concept)

Sega Lindbergh

CONCEPT

Sega's first PC-based arcade board, used for their high-end arcade games in the mid-to-late 2000's.

Overview

Lindbergh (also known as Sega Lindbergh) is an arcade system board developed and used by Sega (Company) for a variety of high-end arcade releases in the mid-to-late 2000's. First released in 2005 with The House of the Dead 4 (Game), it is their first board to use a standard PC (Platform) architecture (as its predecessor, Chihiro, utilizes PC components in an Xbox-based architecture), similar to Taito's Type X hardware (released one year prior). It was later superseded by their RingEdge board. The hardware itself uses an embedded Linux (Platform) operating system (known as MontaVista Linux) with an Intel Pentium 4 series CPU (at 3.0 GHz), a NVIDIA GeForce 6 series GPU (w/ 256MB GDDR3 VRAM), and a 1 GB DDR-400 SDRAM for memory. It uses DVD-ROM rather than GD-ROM, supports multiple high-definition SVGA (both SVGA and WSVGA) and XGA (XGA, WXGA, FWXGA, and SXGA-) video resolutions, includes native dual-monitor support (both same-screen and multi-screen), supports 5.1 channel surround sound, and natively supports online connectivity with Sega's ALL.Net service. Multiple variants of the board were produced, each with a unique color-coded case lid (one of the few arcade boards to do so). Each has some minor differences:

The Lindbergh variant, color-coded in yellow, is used for a majority of their standard releases.
The Lindbergh Blue variant is used for few games, using a Windows Embedded operating system instead. StarHorse 2 is unique for using an unbranded dedicated board with CompactFlash instead of both the DVD and HDD.
The Lindbergh Red variant is more graphics-intensive, upgrading the GPU to the more powerful NVIDIA GeForce 7 series model at double the VRAM (with some games using quadruple, at 1GB). However, it uses a more budget-oriented Intel Celeron series CPU at 2.8 Ghz.

In addition, Sega rented out a silver-colored variant used as the Server board for Satellite Terminal games.
