PC Perspective - nForce 2 Socket A Motherboard Round-up
EPoX EP-8RDA3+
Northbridge
nVIDIA nForce 2 Ultra 400
Southbridge
nVIDIA nForce 2 MCP
FSB :400MHz
Memory : DDR 400
Memory Slots:3
Memory Capacity:3
2x SATA, 2x ATA133
Audio :AC'97
Analog Audio Connectivity
(3) 3 stereo connects. Each can be configured for different input/output.
Digital Audio Connectivity
Coax SPDIF-out
Optical SPDIF-out (Toslink)
Network:2x RealTek 10/100 LAN
USB 2.0
6 ports
Firewire IEEE1394
2 ports
Pros:
* Good motherboard layout (large heatsinks shouldn't be a problem)
* Dual 10/100 LAN
* Coax and optical SPDIF-out
* +12V power connection
* Active cooling on Northbridge
* Good documentation
* Price (cheaper than most due to lack of MCP-T)
Cons:
* No nVIDIA MCP-T (EP-8RDA3+ uses Realtek LAN and AC'97 audio)
* Only 3 stereo ports (5.1 support only via SPDIF-out or front panel)
* IDE channels may be too far for 5.25" bays to reach
AMD ATHLON XP 2600+
Erop gemonteerd.
De AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (S-A, 2.08GHz, 256KB, 333MHz FSB, 68W, Boxed)
BIEDEN IS DE BOODSCHAP!
Afhalen te Gent heeft voorrang.
Dit is een goed bordje om een Home-server van te maken. 2x LAN poortjes.
EDIT: Ioschield zit er bij!
