July 30th 2007 | nForce 600

ASRock is offering up another budget mATX board, this time for the video enthusiast wanting HD video playback - the new AliveNF7G-HDready. The heart of this motherboard is the new NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / nForce 630A MCP chipset. This chipset allows the AliveNF7G-HDready to playback 720p H.264 movies. With the new chipset the motherboard has two video connection on the rear I/O panel: one for VGA D-Sub and the other DVI-D. Many other features adorn the AliveNF7G, like RAID 0,1,5,0+1, rear panel IEEE port, Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000, and a plethora of onboard USB2.0 headers.

One other nice feature for the video enthusiast is the ability to use both video ports for a dual monitor setup without the need for an additional video card. Overall, the board performed well and should work out great in a HTPC setup.
