ALBATRON KM51PV-AM2 DRIVER

The data pins for the parallel port have been relegated to a space next to the floppy disk drive connector, and with a bracket that fits into a free PCI bracket printers of this type can be installed. Such is life in the tech world. If you've ever wished you didn't have to watch DiVX or xvid movies on that dinky computer monitor, you're in luck because now is an excellent time to piece together a Home Theatre PC. About Us Employment Privacy Policy. Since all the latest processors are on socket AM2 now, DDR-2 memory has become equally as affordable as its demand has ballooned. Graphics cards is the one component you can't do without because it takes what is happening on the computer and translates it into data a CRT monitor or LCD display will understand - the good ones will even allow you to output video to a standard TV or HDTV! What a speedy MicroATX motherboard!

Albatron colour coordinates the memory channels so you know which ones qlbatron fill to enable dual channel memory support. In Case You Missed it Websites you may also like: Gamers in particular, find integrated graphics about as constricting as an lb python.

About Us Employment Privacy Policy. Little tiny all-in-one chips help make compact microATX motherboards a reality, and inexpensive compact computers a result. In case you're wondering, the DVI or analog output does not change gaming or video output performance and CPU usage and benchmarks stay the same no matter which output is chosen. It's not the CPU so much as it is the chipsets being released by companies like nVidia for K8 motherboards.

The header for a parallel printer connector is located next to the FDD connector. The nVidia GeForce Km51pv-m2 and nForce Southbridge are cooled passively, and connected by a heatpipe that connects the km51p-vam2 together.

Hard drives are supported via four 3.

MOBOT: Motherboard Spec Sheet: Albatron KM51PV-AM2

If you find the onboard GeForce graphics are not powerful enough, you can always install a standalone videocard in the red PCI Express x16 slot. At the moment, computers built upon the AMD Athlon64 architecture offer the best set of options and video output features that those building a HTPC crave.

List all Albatron heat sinks that Frostytech tested? The pin socket AM2 heatsink retention frame is different enough from the socket heatsink frame that only heatsinks which clip onto the center tab remain compatible.

What remains is a bit of a challenge for anyone setting about to construct a computer on the cheap, and that's the graphics.

Albatron KM51PV-AM2 With new AMD AM2 Socket Doubles Memory Bandwidth

Such frugality makes the prospect of constructing an affordable well equipped computer, a remarkably easy endeavor. And naturally, if the onboard videocard proves too restricting a PCI Express x16 videocard can just as quickly be installed.

Perhaps most surprisingly, the integrated Geforce 6-series graphics are relatively good too. As the GeForce name indicates, the Geforce chipset is more graphics card than it is motherboard core logic. The computer industry thrives off of the masses, those of us driving in the inexpensive cars at a reasonable speed, but it's the crazy drivers speeding down the highway at breakneck rates that get all the press.

Small and powerful, a Home Theatre PC HTPC combines the usefulness of a computer with the raw movie-watching capabilities of a full entertainment center.

The industry name for this is 'integrated graphics', and it is both a blessing and a km51pv-a2m depending on whom you speak with. The data pins for the parallel port have been relegated to a space next to the floppy disk drive connector, and with a bracket that fits into a free PCI bracket printers of this type can be installed. Because the analog output is raised off the PCB, the plastic backing is a little weak km51v-am2 use caution when plugging in analog devices.

Please notice how close the DIMM slots are to the CPU socket, larger heatsinks can potentially interfere with memory modules so bear that in mind when selecting a thermal solution. If you've ever wished you didn't have to watch DiVX or xvid movies on that dinky computer monitor, you're in luck because now is an excellent time to piece together a Home Theatre PC.

Albatron KM51PV-AM2 PCSTATS Review - What a speedy MicroATX motherboard!

The nVIDIA GeForce is the best of the bunch when it comes to integrated graphics chipsets for the AMD Athlon 64 platform, and it integrates video, TV-output, multi channel audio, and network connectivity into one little tiny chip. It fulfills each role well, and will even accomodates both DVI and analog monitors much like a standalone videocard does. There are six USB2. Those that screw into the rear PCB support frame of the old two-post series are no longer useable with the four-post style brought into play by socket AM2.

The location of the floppy drive connector isn't the best, but in a compact PC case this shouldn't pose much of a problem.
