So then, the GF9300T-A Black Series motherboard based on the GeForce 9300 all-in-one chipset from NVIDIA is packed with features; including Realtek HD audio to onboard graphics and support for the latest Intel Quad-core and Core2 processors, a front side bus of up to 1333 MHz, and four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots carrying up to 32GB of DDR2-800 dual channel memory.
The NVIDIA GeForce9 Series Integrated Graphics Processing Unit (IGP) includes Hybrid SLI technology support and DirectX 10 capabilities, as well as NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology for Blu-ray playback. The onboard graphics bring quality graphics for a fraction of the price of dedicated GPU solutions. The GF9300T-A Black Series from ECS is a great feature rich platform offering good value for mainstream gaming rigs.

NVIDIA GF100 (Fermi) Technology preview
Last week we arrived at Sin City not only to cover CES but there was something else going on as well. In Las Vegas, NVIDIA had organized a briefing for a select group of the press. From Europe perhaps ten to fifteen people where invited for this somewhat privileged preview -- the topic, a technical overview of project Fermi. Fermi is of course the family name of the latest generation of GPUs from NVIDIA. The first chipset deriving from Fermi will be called the GF100 GPU which will likely be used on what we think will be called products like GeForce 360 and GeForce 380. Join us in a nice technology preview.
NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision review
In this article we will test and review the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision stereo kit. NVIDIA teamed up with Samsung to optionally bundle 120 Hz LCD monitors with their all new 3D stereo shutter glasses technology. NVIDIA on their end got driver support up and going to a state where it's really good. Next to that, they redesigned the approach to the overall gaming experience. A set of shutter glasses that is wireless and rechargeable, games that are supported in the new drivers will automatically kick in 3D mode and next to that, NVIDIA really wanted a cool looking kit.
NVIDIA GF9300 (ECS GF9300TA) mainboard review
A test on the ECS GF9300T-A motherboard. Today NVIDIA is introducing their more budget conscious mainboard chipsets. The GF9300 and GF9400 based integrated graphics chipset motherboard products.
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra review
Today is the day that NVIDIA is launching it's GeForce 8800 Ultra. Now, NVIDIA tried to keep this product as secret as can be ... why ? Two reasons, to prevent technical specifications leaking onto the web. Secondly; obviously to change specs at the last minute. See ATI is releasing their R600 graphics card soon and the Ultra is the product that NVIDIA prepared to counteract in the market, an allergic reaction tothe R600 so to speak.
