 Foxconn announced the first AMD platform Digital Life motherboard - the A79A-S, designed and optimized for AMD socket AM2+ processors with HyperTransport 3 technology. The A79A-S is the first motherboard on the market to pair the new AMD 750 southbridge with the AMD 790FX chipset. The SB750 southbridge includes more connectivity options and the exclusive AMD overclocking technology - AOD Extreme - which optimizes overclocking performance with Phenom processors, enabling them to run more than 200MHz faster.
The motherboard supports Dual Channel DDR2 1066MHz memory when used with socket AM2+ Phenom processors, and also makes use of HyperTransport 3.0 and PCIe Generation 2.0 technologies to dramatically increase available bandwidth between graphics and CPU processing cores.
With 4* PCIe2.0 x16 slots onboard, and full support for ATI CrossFireX technology, the A79A-S supports both 4* x8 bandwidth and 2* x16 bandwidth CrossFireX configurations, enabling great gaming performance capability.
The A79A-S makes used of a 100% SOLID Capacitor design and Ferrite Choke power delivery to ensure rock-solid stability and provide a highly-stable environment for overclocking and reliable system-intensive media applications such as DVD burning and encoding.
