Introduction
Ready for the leading edge of processor and card technology, EVGA''s nForce 680i SLI 775 Motherboard comes locked and loaded -- SLI ready and built to support Intel''s Core Duo processor. Designed for Windows XP, it comes ready with NVIDIA''s features for RAID management, improved data transport, network management and firewall security. This motherboard is a solid foundation for building a monster system. Anticipating future developments in graphics cards, it even offers support for running a third PCI-e card, so it''s not going out of style anytime soon!
This motherboard is planned, designed and built from the ground up for the experienced enthusiasts who want to push their systems to the absolute limit, and have the resources to do it. Overclock it as high as you like -- it can take it. Network as wide as you like -- it''ll run it. You can even use FirstPacket technology to prioritize upstream bandwidith for the hottest Gigabit Ethernet around. This board is stable under the hottest action, and the chrome plated cooling fins keep things cool.
Two SLI graphics cards will provide you with almost painfully realistic gaming action -- watch out for bruises and bullet holes! EVGA gets these boards from the same place as NVIDIA''s initial reference design, so there are no loopholes or conflicts. Use one of these boards for the core of your new build, and you''ll have more than enough capacity to hold all the speed and processing power you''ll know what to do with!
