BIOSTAR - BIOSTAR M7NCG PRO Review

This is the first motherboard I’ve ever (personally) seen with 2 VGA outputs, which means that you can run dual monitors without an additional video card, since the M7NCG PRO uses the nForce2’s integrated GeForce4 MX GPU. It’s a full-sized ATX board with 1 AGP slot (at 4X / 8X) and 5 PCI slots. The motherboard has a fast Dual Channel DDR 400 memory controller, which delivers up to 6.4 GB/s of bandwidth to the 3 DDR SDRAM DIMM slots (3 GB RAM max).

This mainboard provides Dolby® digital 5.1-channel audio for real-time cinematic 3D (positional) sound, which is powered by NVIDIA’s nForce2 APU (Audio Processor Unit) utilizing a Dolby® Digital Encoder and a Realtek ALC650 6-Channel AC’97 CODEC. All of this is topped off with a rich set of mainboard features (like most nForce chipset boards) including: USB 2.0, IEEE1394a (FireWire), LAN (provided by the MCP NVIDIA MAC), and full hardware monitoring (temperature, voltage, and fan speed). There’s even a S/PDIF digital optical connection for serious audio enthusiasts.
