Graphics: Onboard (AMD 690G) The AMD 690G chipset present on the motherboard, is a direct rival of Nvidia’s onboard graphics and is a reworked version of ATI’s own Radeon X700 series. It features a core clock speed of 400 MHz, is capable of dual VGA/DVI-D output and is fully compatible with DX9. Unlike Nvidia’s products however it only supports SM 2.0. This new chipset is also capable of HDMI output and in fact the board we have chosen here, also retails with HDMI support as a higher-end model. The new chipset also supports ATI’s legendary video acceleration and when you combine it with the fact that the chipset is Windows Vista Premium ready; its advantages really begin to add up.Sound: Onboard (7.1 Realtek ALC883 Audio Codec) Onboard audio over the years has rapidly increased in its quality of output and standard support. The codec being used here is the ALC883 which is 7.1 capable and even supports S/PDIF output. This makes this chipset a valuable bargain as it offers excellent audio quality output and does it for free. Lan: Onboard 10/100/1000 |
