Amazon.com Product Description The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP comes from the AI Lifestyles Series line of motherboards that is designed to bring lifestyle and personal computing together. This motherboard provides better system performance for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D games, and delivers cutting edge audio features that dramatically enhances the quality of voice signal. Thoughtful design further allows quick and easy setup, and to create a peaceful environment, several innovations are included to reduce noise and temperature.
The Power of NVIDIA nForce
For high-performance gaming, the M2N-SLI is built with the NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP (media and communication processors). This MCP features AMD Socket AM2 processor support, 1 GHz HyperTransport link, and revolutionary NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface). Together with six Serial ATA ports--enabled through the SATA 3 Gbps RAID controller, Dual Gigabit LAN controllers, and High Definition Audio Interface--the NVIDIA MCP delivers exceptional performance and satisfies all your gaming graphic's demands. SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software that allows two GPUs (Graphics Processor Units) to efficiently work together to deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications you'll get nearly double the performance.

Performance, Noise, and Cooling Features To balance both system performance and quietness, this motherboard features AI Gear that allows you to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and CPU core voltage to minimize system noise and power consumption. You can even change the mode in real-time under your operating system to suit your needs. The motherboard is also built with AI Nap that instantly snoozes the PC without terminating the tasks. The system will continue operating at minimum power and noise whenever you're temporarily away. However, it keeps downloading files or running applications in it's quietest state possible to minimize unwanted noise and distractions. Simply click the keyboard or mouse and you can swiftly wake up the system in just a few seconds.
The M2N-SLI also includes an Asus array mic. The bundled Superbeam Array Microphone only receives the sound coming from the reception cone, and ignores the sound coming from other directions. This mechanism eliminates a large number of interferences including neighboring speakers and reverberations. It also uses advanced de-reverberation techniques to reduce echo and minimize its effect on the speech engine. This feature, along with Asus's Crystal Sound, can enhance speed-centric applications, such as Skype, online gaming, video conferences, and recordings. In addition, this motherboard can detect repetitive and stationary noises, such as computer fans, air conditioners, and other background distractions, then eliminate this white noise from the incoming audio stream to deliver the best possible sound recording.
Lastly, this motherboard features a fanless design that provides a cool environment without all the noisy baggage. Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise pollution and a higher malfunction likelihood. Asus has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and, most notably, the areas where the CPU, power, VGA, and chipsets reside. The heat pipe and heat sinks were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
CPU Features
The M2N-SLI Deluxe supports AMD socket AM2 single core Athlon 64/Sempron and dual-care Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 FX processors with 2MB, 1MB, and 512KB L2 cache, which is based on 64-bit architecture. The advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with individually dedicated L2 caches to satisfy the rising demand for more powerful processing capability. It features 2000/1600 MTs HyperTransport Bus, dual-channel unbuffered DDR2 800 memory support, and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet Technology. DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current DDR, and with the highest speeds clocking at up to 800 MHz, DDR2 memory provides great performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications.
The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP Motherboard is loaded with great features, functions, and connectivity. It is designed to maximize gaming performance, improve graphic viewing, and deliver the best possible audio quality. This motherboard is easy to install on your own, and is packed with interface features, such as dual gigabit LAN, high-definition audio, IEEE 1394a, plenty of back panel ports, and much more.
