Introduction of nForce 590 Motherboards Motherboard Features Motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI x16 technology support the innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX and dual core multi-tasking Athlon64 X2 processors with HyperTransport Technology. The SLI x16 version of the motherboard series delivers leading-edge performance with both of the benefits from 64-bit multi-tasking dual core AMD processors and NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology with the latest Dual PCI-Express for NVIDIA Dual Graphic Processing Unit ready platform. Utilizing the 64-bit multi-tasking socket AM2 solution and dual channel DDR2 800, memory size expandable to 8.0GB, this motherboard series meets the demands of computing in the future. The NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI chipset offers ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1 functions to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee data security without failure in advanced computing applications. The motherboard provides dual Gigabit LAN by using two NVIDIA Giga-LAN controllers both supporting 10M/100M/1Gbps data transfer rate and full duplex or half duplex transportation. The embedded 8-channel AC'97 CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster ProTM standards and offers you home cinema quality and complete software compatibility. Two 16X PCI-Express graphics slots deliver up to 4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which is fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI Technology. And, two PCI-Express x1 slots offers expandability for future PCIE devices at 512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbyte/sec, tackling the most demanding multimedia tasks. The embedded USB controller has the capability to support up to 10 USB 2.0 ports, delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth each and the embedded Firewire controller allows connection and use of IEE1394 compliant devices.
