MSI K7N2 Delta-L - Mainboard - ATX - nForce2 Ultra 400 - Socket A - LAN EN, Fast EN - IDE

The MSI K7N2 Delta Socket A mainboard is based on NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset that synchronized 400MHz FSB (Front Side Bus) and DDR memory, maximizing the performance of AMD platform. Supporting the latest AMD Athlon XP, Athlon and Duron processors (former known as Barton), and comes with 3 DIMM slots, which support up to 3GB of DDR400 (PC3200), DDR333 (PC2700) and DDR266 (PC2100) SDRAM. Its Thermal Diode Circuit is specially designed for AMD Athlon XP processors and protects the CPU from damage from overheating due to improper operation or cooling fan failure. Its dual channel architecture doubles the memory bandwidth, can boost system and graphics performance, results in more productivity. As a full-featured mainboard with the latest design for the highest performance, K7N2 Delta equips with the latest AGP 8x design with a maximum transfer rate of 2.1GB/sec for huge data transfer and calculation in multimedia to enhance image processing efficiency, and delivers onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN controller, integrates APU (audio processing unit), and IEEE 1394 ports (Optional). MSI`s K7N2 Delta also follows "Color Management" as all new MSI motherboards. The Dual Bank of DDR Memory was identified as Green and Purple individually. While the AGP slot in AGP 8x was flame-colored. To enhance overall system performance, K7N2 Delta is Serial ATA ready (Optional), advanced users only need to install Serial ATA-compatible hard drives to enjoy super-speed data transfer at 150MB/sec, which is faster than ATA133 at 133MB/sec. Moreover, the Serial ATA ribbon cable is thinner and longer to solve cooling problems inside the case and facilitate hard drive connection.
