|
This new ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI is based on the the NF680i and NF570i chipset. If you remember, most of the 680i were NVIDIA home brewed boards and there weren't able to anticipate support for the 1600FSB Processors at that time. ASRock is able to deliver a new breathe of life for the aging chipset with support for the Intel QX9770 Core 2 Extreme Quad Core processor running 1600FSB. On top of that, it also supports 3 Way SLI. On top of all these, the board comes with a free Bundle: 802.11g WiFi module. This allows you to transform your board into a AP or run it as a client for wireless internet connection. For movie buffs, the on board ALC890 audio codec with DTS support. The ALC890 audio codec supports signal to noise ratio of 110dB, and the S/N rate means the higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise is.
