Overview
Lindbergh (also known as Sega Lindbergh) is an arcade system board developed and used by Sega 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, it is their first board to use a standard PC 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 It was later superseded by their RingEdge board.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 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.
