AMD 780G & Athlon X2 4850e

Here we see the Floppy and IDE connectors, 2x Ultra DMA133/100/66 devices.

And then another 5 x Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s devices can be connected. They can actually be setup in RAID0, RAID1, RAID10 configuration but it's a fake-raid (partly software) solution, not very recommended.

Nicely passively coooled, the AMD 780G Northbridge on top and lower the AMD SB700 southbridge.

Two 1x PCIe slots, 1 x16 PCI-E slot and then three PCI slots. Nothing to be ashamed about here either.

Granted, usually I'm not the one to get excited about budget integrated mainboards. But at the CeBIT AMD announced their 780G chipset, and for the first time in history I was pretty excited about the technology. In addition to releasing the low-power 55nm RS780 chipset AMD has also brought forward another energy efficient pile 'o transistors under the name of Athlon X2 4850e. We'll take a look at that one as well.
