EVGA Releases nForce 730a Motherboard
 

NVIDIA has had a fair bit of success with its MCP7A, MCP79 chipsets. Where the Intel-compatible nForce 730i/740i embeds a GeForce 9300/9400-class IGP, the AMD compatible nForce 730a embeds a GeForce 8200-class IGP. EVGA has released its offering based on the 730a (model 113-M2-E113-TR). The motherboard uses the typical EVGA colour scheme. It has an AM2+ socket, supporting the latest AMD processors with the HyperTransport 3.0 system interface.

The board features a single PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot. It supports Hybrid Power with compatible graphics cards. Display output from its IGP comes in the form of DVI, D-Sub and HDMI connectors. It provides 8-channel audio with optical and coaxial SPDIF outputs. Depending on the processor used it supports DDR2 memory, with speeds of up to PC2-8500 (1066 MHz). The CPU is powered by a 5+1 phase power circuit. Six SATA II ports with RAID support are provided. For a complete list of specifications, please refer to the company whitepaper. The motherboard is available from the EVGA store for US $94.99 +shipping.

not bad but a little to late, may be?

High res pic here.

wow, that is some heatsink, i guess it covers both the NB & SB???

It's a monolithic chipset.

i am convinced that EVGA really has their shit together. probably the best brand out there right now for all around components.

Tech support is probably better then ASUS too.

And to top it off I think they offer Lifetime Limited Warranty if you register within 30 days.

does this support AM2+ Denebs atleast?

Edit: Warranty is 1 yr I think.
Limited Lifetime Warranty is for all retail Graphics Card and Mainboard products ending in the part numbers A1, A3, AR, AX, BR*, BX*, DR, DX, FR, FX, SG, SL, or S2.
* [Replacement products are shipped out as BR or BX and will carry the same limited lifetime warranty that your original purchase had based on your registration.]

full ATX with onboard video is unusual.

My 780i got horrible memory speeds compared to my X38 and my P45. Wont use them again. :(
