  • Hardware: MSI first to deliver Integrated nForce(tm)2 mainboard
    Posted on Friday, January 17 @ 15:38:21 CET by viper

    MSI

    MSI's K7N2G Socket A DDR mainboard supports AMD Athlon(tm) XP, Athlon(tm) and Duron(tm) processors, and comes with Integrated NVIDIA® nForce(tm)2 IGP (Integrated Graphic Processor) GPU and 3 DIMM slots which support up to 3GB of DDR400 (PC3200), DDR333 (PC2700) and DDR266 (PC2100) SDRAM. Its Thermal Diode Circuit is specially designed for AMD Athlon(tm) XP processors and protects the CPU from overheating damage due to improper operation or cooling fan failure.

    Its Dual Channel Architecture doubles the memory bandwidth and boosts system and graphics performance, which leads to more productivity.

    As a full-featured mainboard with the latest design for the highest performance, MSI K7N2G is equiped with the latest AGP 8x design (AGP 3.0 also compatible with AGP 2.0) with a maximum transfer rate of 2.1GB/sec for huge data transfer and efficient image processing. Further the board features an onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN controller, integrated APU (audio processing unit), and IEEE 1394 ports (Optional).

    MSI's K7N2G also follows "Color Management" as all new MSI motherboards. The Dual Bank of DDR Memory is indentified as Green and Purple individually. While the AGP slot in AGP 8x is red-colored.

    To enhance overall system performance, MSI K7N2G is Serial ATA ready (Optional), advanced users only need to install Serial ATA-compatible hard drives to enjoy super-speed data transfer at 150MB/sec, which is faster than ATA133 at 133MB/sec. Moreover, the Serial ATA ribbon cable is thinner and longer to solve cooling problems inside the case and facilitate hard drive connection.

    The 5.1 channel APU integrated to K7N2G allows users who want quality sound effects to realize the home theater dream by simply connecting six speakers to the output. It is ideal for enjoying 3D games and DVDs.

    Besides one AGP 8x slot, five standard PCI slots and one ACR slot, MSI K7N2G is delivered with MSI Live Update(tm) 2 and MSI Fuzzy Logic(tm) 4 utilities, which are exclusively designed by MSI for friendly operation and easy maintenance. Other exclusive MSI features that come with K7N2G include:

    PC2PC(tm)-Bluetooth (Optional)-MSI's wireless kit PC2PC(tm)-Bluetooth (optional) allows users to enjoy wireless communication with mobile phones, DVs, PDAs and Notebook PCs equipped with Bluetooth functions and even deploy a wireless LAN with platforms offering PC2PC(tm)-Bluetooth functions.

    Live Update(tm) 2-it has integrated MSI's Live BIOS(tm), Live Driver(tm), Live VGA BIOS(tm), Live VGA Driver(tm) and Live Utility(tm) into one single utility for automatic BIOS and Driver updates. Advanced users may set the time for automatic BIOS, Driver and MSI Utility updates and receive the latest information about MSI products and activities to enjoy support from MSI. Fuzzy Logic(tm) 4-this optimal speed adjustment utility allows advanced users to adjust CPU clock speed, Ratio and AGP Vcore either manually or automatically for optimal system performance. i-Speeder(tm)-it selects the optimal connection speed for Cable modem or xDSL devices with Internet connection monitoring and system clock alignment over the Internet.

    MSI DVD (5.1 channel)-it is MSI's exclusive software DVD player that supports Dolby 5.1 channel output and multilingual system (26 languages) for users to enjoy DVDs easily.
