Pulled from the site:
The A7N266 Socket A DDR motherboard supports 200HZ or 266MHz AMD Athlon/Duron processors, and incorporates NVIDIA's nForce platform architecture with advanced integrated features for high-performance systems. The A7N266 delivers exceptional value and is the first integrated motherboard with enhanced performance features to satisfy the performance segment.
KeyFeatures
Ultra-Fast DDR Performance
The A7N266 with its 128-bit TwinBank DDR memory architecture also features one of the fastest system buses available. System bottlenecks are eliminated with balanced architecture and peak bandwidths up to 4.2 GB/s.
High-Performance GeForce2 Graphics Core
High-end 3D graphics performance is delivered via an enhanced NVIDIA GeForce2 graphics core. By implementing onboard the same graphics core found on market-leading GeForce2 AGP graphics cards, the A7N266 provides exceptional performance and value.
3D and 6-Channel Audio
3D audio is achieved with an integrated audio processing unit (APU) that supports 5.1 Dolby Digital as well as 6-channel audio.
Onboard LAN/Ethenet
An optional integrated LAN/ Ethernet controller facilitates compelling online gaming and cost-effective networking.
Availability
The ASUS A7N266 Socket A DDR motherboard will be available in Q3 2001
Key Specifications (subject to change):
Supports Socket A AMD Athlon/Duron 550MHz-1.4MHz +
nForce Platform Architecture with 200MHz/266MHz front-side-bus support
Integrated GeForce2 graphics core
Integrated audio processing unit (APU) with 6-channel audio
3 DIMMS and up to 1.5GB support of PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM
5 PCI, 1 AGP Pro, 1 ACR
Optional integrated LAN
Optional RAID
2 UltraDMA 100/66/33 Master IDE
ATX Form Factor
