Press Release
Integrated Vista™ Premium graphics with TV-Out and DVI outputsMilton Keynes, UK, April 19th 2007 – Foxconn today launched three new motherboards based on the AMD A690G chipset, built for AMD AM2 processors.
The A690GM2MA series motherboards offer advanced graphics capability out of the box with full DirectX 9.0 support thanks to the onboard ATI Radeon™ X1250 graphics processor. These motherboards include TV-Out and DVI outputs for flexibility in home, office and media PC applications.
The A690GM2MA motherboards deliver a rich Windows Vista™ Premium experience, and can easily handle the Aero™ user interface without an additional graphics card being deployed in the PCIe x16 slot. Avivo™ technology delivers vibrant images and smooth video playback, even for high definition content, and the built-in HDCP support enables playback of protected content, making the A690GM2MA series the ultimate choice for digital home and office PCs.
Supporting Socket AM2 for AMD® Althon 64FX, Athlon 64x2, Athlon 64 and Sempron processors and up to 8Gb of DDR2 533/667/800MHz system memory, the A690GM2MA-8EKRS2H also offers Gigabit LAN, 8-channel HD Audio, RAID, 4* SATA2.0 ports, 2* IEEE1394a ports and 10* USB2.0 ports for outstanding connectivity capability.
Despite the considerable on-board graphics power, Foxconn A690GM2MA motherboards offer room for expansion, with 1* PCIe x16 slot, 1* PCIe x1 slot and 2* PCI slots for legacy cards.
Foxconn’s proprietary system control and monitoring solution – TigerOne™ is also included for further tuning the performance of system components.
Commenting on the release of these latest AMD motherboards under the Foxconn brand, Brian Chang, Motherboard Product Manager explained: “The A690GM2MA series motherboards offer really excellent onboard graphics capability and are highly adaptable for business, consumer and media centre PCs. We have developed three different versions to give customers more choice on the exact configuration, and ensure they only need to pay for the features that they need.”
