Create a digital home entertainment centerpiece with Foxconn's G9657MA-8EKRS2H motherboard. This affordably priced, micro-ATX board is certified for Windows Vista and uses the innovative Intel G965 Express chipset to support the fastest Intel Conroe CPU's including the Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme as well as Pentium D and Celeron D processors.
Hyper-Threading technology accelerates data transfer between the CPU and the other onboard components – including the Intel GMA X3000 video chipset. The 800 Mhz front side bus keeps things marching smartly along with room for increased performance up to 1066 Mhz. There is room for up to 8GB of DDR2 memory with dual channel support in the four 240-pin slots.
Available expansion slots include a PCI-Express x16, a PCIe x1 and another pair for PCI cards. The onboard audio chipset delivers eight channels of sound through five audio ports and video can be exported via either the optical or coaxial S/PDIF outputs. Connect to a home or office network at broadband speeds with the integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN and expand your system with the ten USB 2.0 and single 3 Gb/s eSATA and FireWire ports.
