Question

How do I tell if my Ion has a Windows XP or Windows 7 motherboard?

Explanation

  • The Ion console went through 3 motherboards during its lifetime. The first 2 were Windows XP and the last was Windows 7. The easiest way to determine if your Ion has a WinXP or Win7 motherboard is by looking at the back of the console. The WinXP units only have 1 network port, while the Win7 units have 2.
