The Mainboard
We took noticed of the power regulator and it
seems to be using a 2 phase design. There are 6 SATA ports on this mainboard and
the 2 that is supported by the NF3-250Gb lies next to the AGP slot which somehow
in an awkward position because the cables might be blocked the the VGA card or a
large CPU heatsink.
We have 6 PCI
slots, 1 AGP slot. ALC850 codec is used.8
channel Onboard sound from Realtek ALC850 Audio with Digital SPDIF and
Automatic Jack Sensing feature (8KDA3+ adds optical output).
