| Foxconn High Performance Motherboard for AMD AM2 Socket Processors |
 FOXCONN, the global leader in the design and manufacture of computer, communications and consumer electronics components, today announced the release of its most enthusiast-oriented motherboard to date, the C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H. Based on the NVIDIA® nForce 590 SLI MCP for AMD’s just-announced Socket AM2 processors, the Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H is set to light up review benches around the world with its advanced BIOS features, layout, choice of extremely high quality components, and enthusiast features never before seen in a desktop motherboards. Foxconn and NVIDIA engineers worked closely to produce what looks to be one of the most outstanding enthusiast motherboards to date.  C51XEM2AA delivers real benefits to enthusiasts Unlike some competiting products, the C51XEM2AA delivers features the enthusiast will really appreciate: reset and power buttons on board - so no more screwdrivers and jumpers for restarting the system “on the bench”; an onboard speaker and 2-digit LED display for boot status and easy error debugging; and one of the most comprehensive BIOS menus ever devised. The BIOS displays current values and optional settings, making it easier for the user to fine tune their system. Voltage option increments are intelligently displayed along with existing values, enabling small incremental changes to be implemented “in context”. BIOS settings can be stored in “profiles” enabling quick and easy retrieval of the numerous settings and tweaks. The C51XEM2AA also ships with NVIDIA’s highly acclaimed and extremely capable nTune™ performance-tweaking utility, version 5.0 – one of the most comprehensive Windows-based system control tools ever developed. Layout and component choice Access your motherboard from all angles with the C51XEM2AA’s intelligent layout. Avoid restrictions to reaching critical areas after the motherboard is installed in your case. You’ll find the x16 PCI Express slots are spaced far apart, leaving room for even the largest dual graphics cards and robust cooling solutions, whilst leaving the SATA ports clear from obstructions. All connectors are easily accessible around the edge of the board, minimizing cabling interference. The C51XEM2AA incorporates dual Gigabit PCIe LAN, High Definition Audio with Dolby Digital Live®, Maxim PWM controllers (with 2 high-side and 2 low-side for better power delivery), and Falco voltage regulators which have been overbuilt to ensure that optimal power is delivered to components even under the greatest stress. The C51XEM2AA can handle 120 amps of sustained load. Something special “Everything about this board has been geared towards performance, without compromise”, commented Christin Wang, Foxconn’s Global Marketing Manager. “The board has been designed on a 6-layer PCB, so there is less crosstalk and greater overclocking potential. When you combine all the elements - the design, the quality of the components, and the enthusiast features - you realize that this board really is something special.” 
Supporting the latest desktop technologies
The C51XEM2AA supports AMD Athlon™ 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core, Athlon 64 and Sempron™ Socket AM2 processors, enabling dual-channel DDR2-800 SDRAM memory on an AMD platform for the first time. With dual PCIe x16 (true dual x16 signals under NVIDIA SLI), dual Gigabit LAN, 7.1 channel High Definition Audio, a total of 10 USB 2.0 ports (6 in the rear panel area), six SATA II/300 ports, and FireWire “a” and “b” (enabling faster transfer speeds), the C51XEM2AA is the most capable motherboard in the market. Enhanced graphics capability and value added features The C51XEM2AA includes NVIDIA’s innovative and ground-breaking “LinkBoost™” technology, which enables users to immediately and substantially enhance graphics performance by “boosting” the bandwidth of attached NVIDIA, GeForce 7900 GTX-based video cards. Other value added features include NVIDIA FirstPacket™ and DualNet™, improving networking capabilities; NVIDIA MediaShield™ technology, which provides a range of SATA RAID storage options; AMD Cool “n” Quiet™ processor thermal management technology; and Foxconn’s Fox LiveUpdate™, for quick and easy BIOS updating.
