Mainboard Features - Nvidia nF6100-400 User Manual

Introduction

1-2 Mainboard Features

Socket AM2
Socket AM2 (940-pin) based motherboards are designed to provide performance enhancements for AMD
Athlon AM2 processor-based systems, and it also expected to be the next-generation of platform
innovations.

Chipset
The board is designed with nVidia nF6100-400 / nF6100-405 / nF6100-430 chipset, featuring performance
and stability with the most innovative technology and features.

VGA
Chipset contains integrated VGA. The VGA core shares memory usage with system memory, therefore
sometimes referred to as Unified Memory Architecture (UMA).
PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With smaller slot size
and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.
DDR2
DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers faster speed, higher data
bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.
Dual Channel
Supports dual channel of DDR2 memory to give you twice the memory bandwidth for greater system
performance.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and status. This
includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
10/100 LAN
This mainboard is mounted with a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN PHY. It allows the mainboard to connect to a
local area network by means of a network hub.
Serial ATA II
S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to 300MB/sec. It
supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices.
SATA RAID
RAID function available on chipset's SATA II ports.
USB2.0
A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while maintaining
backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
6ch
Mainboard is equipped with 6 channel of audio to support Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for DVD-playback. The onboard
audio jacks can be configured for normal 2 channel mode or 6 channel mode.
AMD Cool'n'Quiet
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet
