The
Best C/P SLI Solution on AM2 Platform
|
NVIDIA
nForce® 500 SLI™
Designed for NVIDIA® SLI™ technology
NVIDIA nForce® 500 SLI™ media and communications processors (MCPs)
deliver a complete range of solutions for AMD-based discrete platforms.
Performance enhancing features include NVIDIA® LinkBoost™ technology
to automatically increase bus speeds and NVIDIA SLI™ technology for
scalable graphics performance
NVIDIA
SLI™ Technology
NVIDIA SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) takes advantage of the increased
bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture and features intelligent
hardware and software that allows two GPUs to efficiently work together
to deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications
nearly 2X performance.
Supports
AMD Socket AM2 Athlon 64 FX /Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 / Sempron
The M2N-E SLI supports AMD socket AM2 single-core
Athlon 64/ Sempron and dual-core Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 X2 processors
with 2MB / 1MB / 512KB L2 cache, which is based on 64-bit architecture.
It features 2000 / 1600 MT/s HyperTransport Bus, dual-channel
un-buffered DDR2 800 memory support and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology
Dual-Core
CPU
The advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with
individually dedicated L2 caches to satisfy the rising demand for more
powerful processing capability.
Dual-Channel
DDR2 800
DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current
DDR. With the highest speed up to 800MHz, DDR2 memory provides great
performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications.
AMD
Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology
Supports AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology, which monitors system operation
and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for a cool and quiet
environment
Fanless
Design
Provide a cool environment without all the
baggage
Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise
and malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is
specifically created to provide a cool environment without all the
baggage.
ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across
the motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power,
Northbridge and Southbridge.
The heat sinks and strategic board layout are tailor made to dissipate
heat in the most efficient manner.
ASUS
Q-Fan 2
ASUS Q-Fan2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis
fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and
efficient operation.
Gigbit
LAN
The NVIDIA native Gigabit LAN controller delivers transfer speeds up to
ten times faster than conventional 10/100 Ethernet connections. Gigabit
LAN is the networking standard for the early future and is ideal for
handling large amounts of data such as video, audio, and voice.
C-Media
Superior Quality Audio
C-Media CM6501
onboard 8-channel Superior audio CODEC (transfer audio signal over USB
bus, Microsoft Vista ready.)
S/PDIF-out
on Back I/O Port
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home
theater audio systems via an coaxial S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital
Interface) jack. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting
to analog format and keeps the best signal quality
IEEE
1394a interface
IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video
appliances such as digital television, digital video camcorders, storage
peripherals & other PC portable devices.
Serial
ATA 3Gb/s RAID
This motherboard supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the
new SATA 3Gb/s storage specification. The onboard NVIDIA nForce® 500
SLI™ MCP allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 and JBOD
configurations for four SATA connectors.
Max.
8 USB 2.0 ports supports
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation
components and peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB 1.1
peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at
480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfers.
ASUS
Q-Connector
The ASUS Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front
panel cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique
adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time,
making connection quick and accurate.
ASUS
EZ Flash 2
EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply press the
pre-defined hotkey to launch this tool and update BIOS from a USB flash
disk before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS only in a few
clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or using an
OS-based flash utility.
GreenASUS
The motherboard and its packaging comply with the European Union's
Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). This is in line
with the ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and recyclable
products and packaging to safeguard consumers' health while minimizing
the impact on the environment
