Computex 08: MCP7A-S based


It seems like we’re nearing the launch of Nvidia’s MCP7A for Intel, with several motherboard manufacturers showing boards based on various MCP7A variants.

This ATX motherboard from ECS, which goes under the name of MCP7AT-A (a genius naming, that), looks pretty much like a lot of Geforce 8200-based AMD motherboards, with the exception of the Intel CPU socket.

It has one x16 PCIe 2.0 slot, two PCIe x1 slots and three PCI slots. Connectivity consists of two PS/2 ports, a D-sub, an HDMI port, six USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1-channel audio. It has four DDR2 memory slots with support for 800MHz dual channel memory and ECS claims it can support up to 32GB of memory. Why anyone would want to fit that much on a board like this is beyond us.

Hybrid SLI is, of course, part of the package, but as always, you’re limited to entry-level graphics cards to make Hybrid SLI work.
