Is it just me or the board is really sexy?

[CmdrChris]

Nice to see a heatsink on the southbridge...

Nice looking board.... nice looking indeed!

[MoNk]

Very interesting looking. Is there an explanation behind the heatsinks up by the ports? (other plan heat please :p).

I still dont like leadtek (for anything other than vid cards). Dont ask me why.

[Stove]

those heatsinks by the ports will be for the mosfets. GREAT idea :) Looks nice

[Valium]

my flatmate has a leadtek mobo, apart from the crapppy onboard gpu (he couldnt be bothered to rma it) its a great mobo. stable, easy to oc and fast

[Antallica]

I love it, looks like it's around the $280 mark?

Don't know if I would get that over an Abit NF7 2.0 though.

[Hans]

240MHz FSB. :eek: enough said.

Well Ascent have that Leadtek mobo for $315...

[SeamanPriest]

yes, i know im a newbie, but what is that blue slot next to the PCI slots for?

[SilverPriest]

It's either a CNR or an AMR slot.
Communications network riser, I forget what AMR stands for.
It will be one of the two.

They're generally used by OEMS for crappy software modems & soundcards etc.
Generic cheap stuff to add features to make joe consumer go "wow!"

That's my take on it at least :)

[SeamanPriest]

never mind, i found out :)

[mightybob]

mmmm, thats a very very nice board!

Oh, and i think AMR stands for American Modem Riser (well, thats what i was told anyway).

[NTBlowz]

AMR actually stands for Audio/Modem Riser

damn, i was so close.
Hey, why do they put AMR and CNR slots on? I am yet to see any AMR or CNR things on the market.

[MoNk]

Not a CNR....well nothing like my one anyway.

Yeah, isnt a CNR slot one of those REALLY small brown slots?

Like these?

But then googleing "AMR Slot" also brings this up:

[Xpressah]

i thought the blue slot was a ACR slot, Advanced Communications Riser

and there are no components avaiable still?

[SeamanPriest]

thanks for the help guys :)

[Valium]

leadtek mobo's come with a card, my flatmate has a firewire card for that slot, also has a few other things on it i think,

[mightybob]

yes, both Xpressah, and Valium were correct.

It is the ACR slot, which is for the Leadtek Firewire card.

I found this out by reading another OCNZ review of a leadtek board that also has the slot (http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=03boardnforce20leadtek0k718gpro0105) .

So, is it only used for the firewire card that comes with it, or can you buy other accessories off the shelf for it too?

[mightybob]

nevermind, i answered my own question when i came accross this on the leadtek site.

http://www.leadtek.com/motherboard/image/k7nfal_01.gif

Its a multifunction ACR card.

Well if you found out why didint you share it with us. It would have been your first post that actually means somthing.

[Secern]

Not to be *Cpt. Negative*

But i still think Leadtek have alot to learn
but I supose there previous products have left them with a name that is very "High" in expectations :rolleyes:

AMR - CNR
I mean onestly how 386 style is that :D

[Tribalgear]

I can always tell a real geekster, I thought I was one until I seen your post, Its a boy LOL. Looks like a Soyo board just got one myself the SY-PX400 ultra dragon and it seem to be my baby to lata dude. :D

[soven]

I just acquired this board and I must say I am loving every minute of it.
