Sapphire launces AM2 based µATX mainboard

Sapphire Technology has just introduced a new micro-ATX mainboard featuring on-board graphics packed with features to make it the ideal choice in office or multimedia systems. Based on the latest Radeon Xpress 1150 chipset and new SB600 Southbridge from ATI, Sapphire's new model PE-AM2RS485M combines support for AMD's powerful AM2 Athlon64, FX and dual core processor families with the most complete set of on-board features available today.

Supporting up to 4GB of Dual Channel DDR2 memory, this mainboard is ready to deliver the performance demanded by today's office and multimedia applications. The integrated on board graphics technology supports DirectX9 Shader model 2.0 for enhanced video performance either on a VGA monitor or via the TV output provided.

One PCI-Express x16, one PCI-Express x1 and two standard PCI slots meet the need for expansion, and a full range of onboard communications include Realtek 10/100Mbps LAN and ten USB 2.0 ports as well as a legacy parallel port and com port. High Definition audio is also integrated on-board and delivers 8-channel surround sound and SPDIF out. Peak hard drive performance is assured with four SATA-II connectors as well as IDE ATA133 and FDD connectors.

Sapphire manufactures to the latest lead-free standards and products are fully RoHS compliant.
