ASUSTeK Computer (ASUS), one of our favourite suppliers of high-performance components, has introduced a micro-ATX-formed, Dolby and Viiv-certified motherboard.

The Windows MCE-compatible N4L-VM DH is the first ASUS platform to feature support for the advanced Intel Core Duo Mobile CPU, while the quiet cooling sustains operation without compromising performance, further realising the trend of digital home.

Unfortunately, the onboard video does not support hardware h.264 decoding, something that would benefit a media PC.

Made possible by lower CPU power consumption, along with the Q-Fan technology and low-noise CPU cooler exclusively from ASUS, the N4L-VM DH desktop environment is quieter than ever, according to the company. Aside from the Viiv-ready performance desktop that N4L-VM DH delivers, it also complies with RoHS regulations as an environmentally safe motherboard.

Even with the compact size, the Intel Viiv-ready and Windows MCE-compatible N4L-VM DH comes with robust multimedia features. The TV-Out connector embedded on the motherboard provides a gateway to view memorable digital media on big screen such as LCD TV, while the ALC 882M 8-CH high definition audio with S/PDIF-Out completes the experience for overall audible pleasure with Dolby Master Studio.

Additionally, with the purchase of ASUS’s R-DVI-ADD2 card, DVI output is made available for the finest viewing solution. The N4L-VM DH motherboard is further incorporated with Intel 82573L Gigabit Ethernet for fast network connectivity.

The N4L-VM DH is created for total multimedia enjoyment in mind. It presents pioneering ways to help allocate and manage digital content by embedding two SATA ports as well as two external SATA II ports. The SATAII standard allows easy backup of entertainment content with 3Gbit/s transfer speed, providing enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves.
