Embedded with powerful NVIDIA® nForce 4 Series Chipsets GeForce 6100 and nForce 410 MCP, this motherboard definitely quenches your thirst for exhilarating gaming experience with DirectX9.0, Pixel Shader 3.0 and maximum 128MB shared memory, which allows you to enjoy 3D gaming that is equivalent to other high-end Graphics cards......ASRock 939NF4G-SATA2 / K8NF4G-SATA2
Oct 17, 2005, Taipei
For users craving for ultimate gaming experience, a high-end graphics card is they care about the most on their pc. However, most of the motherboards embedded with graphics these days can hardly meet their needs, especially for playing games like Doom3 or Half-Life. What's worst, high-end graphics card is expensive. Users' alternative? ASrock, an innovative manufacturer of motherboard, helps solving this dilemma with the new released of 939NF4G-SATA2 and K8NF4G-SATA2, which are highly functional motherboards with integrated NV44 graphics DirectX9.0 VGA, pixel shader 3.0 and maximum shared memory of 128MB. In addition, 939NF4G-SATA2 and K8NF4G-SATA2 come with SATAII support for upgrading your system to SATAII hard disk.
NVIDIA® nForce 4 series chipset - GeForce 6100, is capable of running at 1066MHz (2.0GT/s), thus 939NF4G-SATA2 can fully supports AMD 939-pin Athlon 64 / 64FX / 64X2 Dual Core CPU. For users who prefers 754 platform, they can choose K8NF4G-SATA2, which supports AMD 754-pin Athlon 64 and 32-bit/64-bit Sempron. Both of them come with AMD Cool 'n' Quiet, Hyper-Transport Technology and ASRock Untied Overclocking Technology, which allows FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI/PCIE buses. For scalability, 939NF4G-SATA2 comes with 4 DIMMs of Dual Channel DDR400 with maximum capacity up to 4GB. To go with the latest trend of PCI Express interface, 939NF4G-SATA2 and K8NF4G-SATA2 are supported with both PCI Express x 16 and PCI Express x 1 interface. To further boost system performance, users may even upgrade their hard disk interface to the updated Serial ATA II 3.0Gb/s, which is the latest and fastest specification so far with a high speed of 300Mbytes, twice the speed of Serial ATA. Of course, you may find 7.1 Channel Superior Quality Audio, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, 4-ready-to-use USB2.0 ports on board as well.
The most amazing part of 939NF4G-SATA2/K8NF4G-SATA2 is that they come with high-end embedded chipsets - NVIDIA® GeForce 6100. NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 supports the latest DirectX9.0, Pixel Shader 3.0 and maximum 128MB shared memory. Almost all animated hot games these days require DX9.0 and Pixel Shader 3.0 to have them run smoothly and without lagging. nForce 4 series GPUs are able to provide a powerful, flexible, and stable platform for delivering faster, smoother, and ultra-realistic game play.
We took test run on 939NF4G-SATA2/K8NF4G-SATA with ATi reference boards for its graphics performance, and proved that they are currently the strongest AMD K8 Embedded Graphics platforms.
