Asus Unveils Little Board with Big Feature Set
One of the many products Asus is showing off at the Computex convention is a mini-ITX motherboard with a pretty hefty list of features. Built around AMD's AM3 platform, we could see the M4A88T-I Deluxe, as it's been dubbed, being used in an HTPC build with a bit of gaming pep.
The board is based on AMD's 880G Northbridge, which has been paired up with the SB701 Southbridge. It measures just 17cm x 17cm, but includes integrated Radeon HD 4290 graphics, two DDR3 memory slots, eSATA, three SATA ports, two USB 3.0 ports, integrated 5.1 audio, Gigabit LAN, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DVI and HDMI outputs, and of particular interest to gamers looking to pack a punch in a small space, it also comes equipped with a full PCI-Express x16 slot.
From what we gather, the board also supports Asus' Core Unlocker feature, which allows you to unlock additional cores on select AMD Phenom II X2 and X3 processors.
