Introduction
Overview
N2 series of mainboards utilize nForce 420D chipset consisting of two components: Crash
12 and MCP-D, providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective ATX
platform. The new integrated technologies, together with AGP 4X support, AC’97 audio, 6
USB ports and ATA 100/66/33, give customers an advanced, multimedia solution at
reasonable price. It provides 200/266MHz host bus speed to support AMD socket 462
processors and the largest DDR memory capacity is up to 1.5GB. It also provides advanced
fearures such as Wake up by USB devices, Wake-on-Modem, ACPI and Keyboard Password
Power-on functions. Suspend to RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PC’s power consumption
drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup.In addition, it provides an ACR
slot to support some cards: Audio Riser Card (AMR), Primary/Secondary Modem Riser Card
(AMR), 10/100Mb LAN Riser Card, 1Mb HomePNA Riser Card, USB Ports Riser Card and
ACR SPDIF Card. QDI innovation, lets the PC boot freely and rapidly.
