The latest AthlonTM64 X2 dual-core processor brings the power and multitasking performance on the desktop platform and ensures superior performance on mission critical business applications.

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 GPU
The brand new NVIDIA 6150 GPU features CineFX™ 3.0 Engine, PureVideo HD video processing, and HDTV Encoder. This unique combination of 6150 GPU creates a single motherboard featuring a world-class DX9, Shader Model 3.0 GPU for faster and smoother game-play, a high definition video processing engine for advance quality of video and DVD playback, and the HDTV-out functionality for high resolution TV output.

NVIDIA® PureVideo™
The combination of the GeForce 6150's high-definition video processor and NVIDIA PureVideo DVD decoder software delivers optimal picture clarity, smooth video, and precise image scaling for all video content in home theater applications.

HDTV-Out Function
High-quality scaling and filtering technology delivers a clear, clean image at any window size. The NVIDIA GeForce 6150 provides world-class HDTV-out functionality including 720p and 1080i formats for the most demanding HDTV applications.

Superior Dual channel DDR400 Architecture
AMD Athlon64FX/ 64 achieve the milestone for desktop computing with the CPU-integrated memory controller. This platform supports dual channel DDR400 memory architecture with high bandwidth of up to 6.4GB/s and shorter memory accessing latency thus delivering the greatest memory performance.

PCI Express Interface
Revolutionary PCI Express interface provides scalable bandwidth for multi-purpose usage. PCI-E x16 interface doubles the bandwidth of graphics interface of previous generation thus delivering the utmost gaming experience. PCI-E x1interface provides twice the bandwidth of PCI interface up to 250MB/s for new generation I/O peripheral devices.

SATA 3Gb/s & RAID
This platform supports reliable storage solution for enhanced data protection and data accessing performance. Serial ATA 3Gb/s is firstly introduced in this platform to provide blazingly 3Gb/s bus bandwidth thus higher disk performance. The NVIDIA RAID allows multi-disk designs to be set up as RAID 0,1,0+1,5 based on users’ priority of protection/ performance. This NVIDIA RAID function makes the RAID even more accessible by introducing the innovative windows-based facility.

NVIDIA ActiveArmor Powered Firewall
NVIDIA Firewall protects your PC from intruders by filtering unauthorized traffic. This ActiveArmor hardware-accelerated firewall provides solid protection while reduces the firewall's CPU utilization and improves networking throughput & performance. Certificated by ICSA Lab, NVIDIA Firewall provides professional-graded security to your desktop platform.

IEEE1394 FireWire
The highly anticipated IEEE1394 interface enhances PC connectivity with consumer electronics audio/video (A/V) appliances, and storage peripherals.
