Bridal Shower Invitation The Future Mrs...

1. motherboard

Hello everyone, I thought
to resume writing on this blog with something important. My father, not too long ago, took some photos to make up his new PC. Now I wanted to show them "pieces", ie doing more posts about the various components.

This post will be dedicated to the motherboard: Asus
a P5K3 Deluxe / WiFi-AP . Taking advantage of the fact that my father is a great photographer and has access to a camera really serious, you can see the details so perfectly clear, because the image has 3000x2475 resolution. If you put a little 'in charge do not despair, you can read what's written on the chip, so I put it on purpose as large as possible (unfortunately I had to zoom out from the original 3381x2789 because otherwise it was too big for upload online). I hope that imageshack has not shrunk even further, because I could not control.

So, given that some things even I do not understand (eg the section manageability and IEEE 1394), this is the general framework of the technical characteristics reported by mother Asus.

Needless to say that the quality of this motherboard is excellent, even if the purchase price was to guess that was directed to areas most "motivated" only to manage files or surfing the Internet. The above board has support more or less all Intel Socket LGA 775. But this again ...... I do not want to reveal everything at once: D.
The standard connector is a high standard with 2 PCI-Express 2.0 to match this card two ATI CrossFire mode, a solution within the coveted video game (even if those opting for the presence of multiple cards within the case generally do not care about the incredibly high consumption of this solution) that allows you to have enough performance superior to single card solutions.
Then we find 6 SATA connectors for devices (in the case of my father 2 500GB hard drive with 16MB buffer and a 7200rpm SATA burner) that allow the user connecting devices without sacrificing anything. For users but a bit 'more "backward", Asus has decided to implement an exit PATA, which also allows the user to recycle old hard drive removed from another computer.
For online gamers or those who wish to use a computer with this motherboard as a proxy, here are two LAN ports, with different chips that allow the user to have two parallel lines or connect to another computer as well as internet. The audio
unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to hear high-volume, but did not present any problems and the sound is clear without touching on advanced settings.
USB? What is USB? Even an average user knows that the USB is a method universal communication (Universal Serial Bus), which allows many devices on the market (mice, keyboards, joysticks, printers, pen-drives, external drives, iPods, etc..) to connect to the PC. An average person uses on average 2 to 5 USB devices, first-rate in mouse, keyboard, pen-drive and printer. A user really needs are more demanding taken, even if only as an average user is thrown on a multi-function, while the advanced user buys everything in its own right, having in fact only 3 USB ports occupied with scanner, printer and copier . Basically this card is made not for advanced users but for users exaggerated! Integra 10 USB 2.0 ports on the back of uniforms in 6 motherboard and 4 portable front slot with PCI-Express X1.
Once booted, the BIOS recognized all the hardware perfectly, except the memories, through the automatic recognition mode were recognized with lower frequency, but of this I will speak later.

That's it for today, I hope he was not too long and not to have bored, Whity.
