Three Premium nForce4 Motherboards from Gigabyte, Jetway, and MSI

Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Royal

Board-Revision: 1.0

BIOS Version: F2

The GA-8N-SLI Royal is Gigabyte's flagship offering for the Pentium processor family. As is typical for Gigabyte, nothing's missing from this motherboard - in fact, they've crammed every square inch with added functions and capabilities galore.

Most noticeable among these accoutrements is the yellow auxiliary connector next to the power socket. This mates with a DPS (Dual Power System) cable from the power supply. While it's not absolutely necessary for a system to work, it's worth using because of the improved power-handling and switching capability it delivers.
