Computex 08: For Intel


Although some claimed that Zotac will be the only company to show off a GeForce 9300 motherboard at Computex, it turns out that Palit is also showing off a Geforce 9300 motherboard.

This should be the mid-range MCP7A-S Nvidia IGP solution for Intel and this chipset has, of course, not launched as yet and we’re not sure when Nvidia is set to launch it.

The motherboard itself isn’t anything remarkable, it’s using a mATX form factor and has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, a PCIe x1 slot and two PCI slots. Around the back you’ll find two PS/2 ports, a D-sub, a serial port, a DVI port, four USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet jack and 7.1-channel audio jacks, but we’re missing an HDMI port.

Interestingly, it seems like Nvidia has decided to go with a dual-channel memory controller, this time on its Intel IGP chipset, and the Geforce 9300 supports up to 8GB of memory. The GPU does, of course, support DirectX 10.

As with Nvidia’s AMD IGP solutions, the Geforce 9300 is a single chip solution and hopefully the fairly small heatsink is an indication of this chipset running reasonably cool.
