Gigabyte, known for their reputation of making quality computer hardware, recently shook hands with nVIDIA again after a rather unpleasant move of stepping away from their graphics card line-up two years ago. As a result of the renewed relationship one of the most versatile mainboard to date was born. Today we are going to talk about the powerful nVIDIA nFORCE2 Ultra (SPP / MCP-T) based 7NNXP from the Gigabyte K7 Triton series mainboards, a mainboard that can deal with any Athlon XP processor up-to the new 400 MHz FSB Athlon XP processors.

When we first saw the mainboard we where simply exhilarated by the looks of it. The 7NNXP dear people is not 'just' another mainboard, this is a Swiss Knife among mainboards. It has so many features that it's hard to sum it up from my memory.

Let's look at the most important specifications and features:
