Overview
Introduction
Powered by NVIDIA® SLI™ X16 technology and featuring four PCI Express graphics slots, the GA-8N-SLI Quad Royal extends the boundaries of graphics and gaming performance to virtually double that of previous dual VGA card solutions. With support for two 16-lane (X16) PCI Express links offering twice the PCI Express bandwidth of standard 8-lane (X8) SLI solutions, the GA-8N-SLI Quad Royal provides the absolute maximum performance for next generation graphics processors and games. The board's GIGABYTE proprietary design featuring quad PCI Express graphics slots, enables support for up to eight monitors simultaneously for spectacular visuals from multi-monitor capable applications.
NVIDIA nForce4 SLI Intel Edition Chipset
The new NVIDIA nForce4 SLI Intel Edition chipset with Hyper-Threading Technology delivers significant performance gains with variety of new generation architectures including dual-channel DDR2 main memory, PCI-Express interface, NVIDIA MediaArmor technology for improving storage reliability and performance.
NVIDIA® SLI™ X16
NVIDIA® SLI™ X16 supports two full-bandwidth 16-lane PCI Express links which offers twice the PCI Express bandwidth of X8 SLI solutions, and ensures the maximum graphics and gaming performance for next generation GPUs and games. NVIDIA® SLI™ X16 provides the ultimate gaming experience in future-proofing.
LGA 775 Intel® Pentium® D Processor
With new 90nm technology, the world's most advanced chip-making process, it delivers significant gains in performance through the combination of lower-power transistors, strained silicon, high-speed copper interconnects and a new low-k dielectric material. With 1066FSB allows larger bandwidth for data processing up to 8.5GB/s.
Dual Channel DDR2 667
The new DDR2 main memory architecture delivers maximum bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s in dual channel mode, providing highest performance for high memory resource demand applications.
SATA at 3Gb/s with RAID 5
The SATA specification doubles bus bandwidth from 1.5Gb/s to 3Gb/s. Native Command Queuing is a new specification that enables out-of-order execution of commands for efficient retrieval of data. Hot Plug support allows users to insert and remove hard disk drives without shutting off power to the system.
Dual Gigabit LAN connectivity
Dual Gigabit LAN provides simultaneous WAN and LAN connection at a blazing fast network connection speed of up to 1,000 Mbps for both network types.
