Supermicro have announced the availability of two new motherboards based on Intel's new P35 and G33 chipsets. Optimized for Intel Core2 Quad and Duo processors, these solutions provide the performance of today's 65-nm technology, as well as support for the next generation of 45-nm processors.
"The increased performance, high power-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of these new desktop boards make them ideal for mainstream, high-volume systems," notes Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. "Our strength in quality and design enables us to lead the transition to these feature-rich desktop platforms."
Featuring a new 1333 MHz system bus, the C2SBE is based on the Intel P35 chipset and supports one Intel Core2 Quad or Duo processor in an LGA 775 socket. Outstanding support for legacy devices is provided by four 32-bit PCI slots. Other impressive features include support for up to 8 GB of DDR2-800 memory, three PCI-Express x16/x4/x1 slots, four SATA ports, high-definition 7.1 channel audio, and an Intel Gigabit LAN controller. Six of the twelve USB 2.0 ports are accessible to the user on the system back panel.
The high-performance C2SBA, based on the Intel G33 chipset, comes equipped with identical features, but also includes the Intel GMA 3100 graphics engine with Windows Vista support. TPM1.2 security support and dual IDE controller options are also available.
Both the C2SBE and C2SBA are based on the ATX form factor (11.6" x 9.6") and optimized for Supermicro's SC733T-645 and SC733i-645 mid-tower chassis. The C2SBE and C2SBA are fully RoHS compliant (6/6).
