More On: NF-M2 nView
abit today sent word of a new motherboard for the AMD64 M2 processor. The NF-M2 nView is based on the nForce430 chipset and includes an onboard GeForce 6150 with a DVI-connector. This looks nice a nice board if you're going to build an HTPC. For you silent folks, the board uses Silent OTES cooling so you can make yourself a real nice quiet HTPC here. I'll habe to think about replacing my ATI Xpress mobo with this one in my HTPC. See more info about this board at abit's website.

September 08, 2006 –abit is expanding their digital home series into AMD processor supported platforms with the nVidia® GeForce®6150/nForce430 chipset based NF-M2 nView motherboard. 7.1 channel high definition audio and powerful integrated GeForce®6150 onboard graphics with a DVI-connector for digital high definition graphics output are the ideal basis for a cost-effective home theater multimedia system. 

The integrated nView technology allows the simultaneous use of two monitors while multi-streaming audio. Now you can watch movies on one screen while gaming away on another. Alternatively you can simply expand your desktop onto two screens in order to gain more space and a better overview of your computer’s workspace. The possibilities for multi-display usage are next to infinite and bring about an entirely new computing experience. More comfort, more flexibility. 

8 ports of USB 2.0 and 2 IEEE1394 (FireWire) ports offer the best high speed connections for digital video, audio and pictures. This is the quickest and easiest way to copy content to and from your digital camera or camcorder etc. 

The small mATX form factor allows the integration of the NF-M2 nView motherboard into very slim and sleek looking cases, letting you set up a full-scale multimedia system with the attractive looks of a high-end hi-fi unit. abit’s patented Silent OTES™ heatpipe technology keeps your motherboard cool without adding any extra noise to your system. With all this in mind, the PC has turned into a multipurpose/multimedia system ready to enter your living room or bedroom with no trade-offs as far as your interior design is concerned.
