After the official Nvidia launch of the nForce chipset and GeForce 7 series of integrated graphics processing unit combo for the Intel hardware platform, a number of mainboard manufacturing companies instantly announced the release of a number of commercially available solutions. Among those companies there is EVGA, a firm better known for its high end Nvidia powered graphics cards that now tries to snatch a little market from other mainboard manufacturers and vendors.

EVGA announced the launch of not one, but three products, which are all based on the nForce and GeForce combo. Complying with the official guidelines released by Nvidia concerning the pairing of the two typed of chips, EVGA launched the 112-CK-NF77-A1 which is based on the nForce 630i and GeForce 7150, the 112-CK-NF75-K1 based on the nForce 630i, GeForce 7100 pair and the 112-CK-NF72-K1 mainboard that comes with the nForce 610i and GeForce 7050 combo.

Thanks to the GeForce 7 series of integrated graphics processing units, the new EVGA mainboards for the Intel platform are offering up to ten times the graphics performance when compared to similar solutions that are available from competing companies and thanks to the high end nForce based motherboard chipset, they are able to accommodate the latest Intel made central processing units that use a high speed 1333Mhz frontside bus.

As these EVGA products are based on chips designed and manufactured by Nvidia, they are all certified to work with the latest Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, when they are coupled with at least one gigabyte of DDR2 random access memory. The GeForce 7 series of graphics processing units are hardware compliant with DirectX 9 and with Shader Model 3.0 specifications while the integrated HDCP and optional HDMI/DVI link, allows users to playback HD-DVD and Blu-ray media on High Definition Displays.

These mainboards are also equipped with Serial ATA II support for the latest models of hard disk drives, while the use of high speed DDR2 memory modules that run at 800MHz, gives an extreme performance in all computing intensive software applications. In order to provide high network and Internet access speeds, these new mainboards also come with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet network interface card, while other connectivity options include the use of up to ten high speed USB 2.0 ports as well as FireWire and SPDIF connectors for a crystal clear audio experience.
