Asus Launches a New M2N32 WS Professional Main Station Series Motherboard It delivers dual-architectures for CPU, graphics, DDR2 memory and LAN controller	By Anca Rusu, Technology Editor 7th of July 2006, 06:28 GMT Adjust text size:


ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), the worldwide leader in motherboards manufacturing, today launched the M2N32 WS Professional motherboard, which is said to provide workstation- and server-level performance and functionality. The M2N32 WS Professional supports the AMD Socket AM2 processing platform, and incorporated the Nvidia nForce 590 SLI MCP chipset to provide dual-core CPU, SLI dual-PCI Express graphics, dual-channel DDR2 and dual-LAN controller architectures. The M2N32 WS comes with two PCI-X slots, two PCI slots, two IEEE 1394a ports, ten USB 2.0 ports and ten Serial ATA-II 3Gb/s ports to provide an enhanced storage capacity. Furthermore, because of AI Nap users can instantly 'calm down' their PCs without aborting current tasks, as the system will continue to operate at minimum power and noise when users are temporarily away. Moreover, it can download files and run applications quietly. For faster heat dissipation and an enhanced system performance, Asus integrated, instead of two separate heatsinks for the Northbridge and Southbridge, a copper heatpipe design that that links the two chipsets together and provides extra large heatsinks for more heat exchange area. Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution offered exclusively by ASUS, which effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation without the noise from high-speed fan rotation. Specs -AMD Socket AM2; -NVIDIA nForce� 590 SLI� MCP; -Dual Channel DDR2-800/667/533; -2 x 64 bit PCI-X; -2 x PCI-E x16, support NVIDIA SLI at full x16, x16 speed 10 x SATA3.0 Gb/s including one external port Dual Gigabit LAN; -ADI AD1988B 8-CH HD Audio.
