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 the board we have chosen 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 it's Windows Vista Premium ready; the advantages begin to add up.
Sound: Onboard (7.1 Realtek ALC883 Audio Codec)
Onboard audio has over the years rapidly improved in its quality of output and standard support. The codec used here is the ALC883 which is 7.1 capable and even supports S/PDIF output. This makes the chipset a valuable bargain as it offers excellent audio quality output and does it for free.
LAN: Onboard 10/100/1000
This is the standard Gigabit onboard 10/100/1000 LAN that gives a maximum transfer speed of 1000 Mbps. It is fast enough to take care of your broadband internet (most users have a connection speed of 256 kbps or 512 kbps).
