14 DAY TRIAL // 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.
