Gigabyte K8NDSLI Pro-RH Socket AM2 motherboard

Today we were invited to the Gigabyte headquarters here in Taipei, Taiwan to take a hands-on look at one of their special new motherboards which will use AMD’s upcoming AM2 (formerly Socket M2) processor socket. The motherboard in question is the K8NDSLI Pro-RH that is based on an nVidia chipset, which is much the same as the current nForce4 SLI chipset.

Being based on an nVidia chipset, you’ll get the usual SLI dual graphics support along with all the Gigabyte usual features such as DPS, plenty of SATA ports, Dual LAN and Dual BIOS. One new feature of the nVidia chipset is HD Audio over standard AC’97 audio. HD Audio is a requirement of the Windows Vista program, hence the reason why nVidia included HD Audio in their core logic this time around and no doubt in all other future chipsets.
