*Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non On/Off Charge USB ports. Charging results may vary by model.
*Whether to support 3X USB power design, it may vary by models.
<b>Core Boost Support</b>
GIGABYTE’s Core Boost technology provides an easy way for users unlocking the CPU’s hidden cores via the EasyTune6 utility. Without any complicated setting needed in BIOS, users can experience a phenomenal performance upgrade right away.
*The ability of unlocking the hidden CPU cores might vary by different processors.
<b>Introduction</b>
The GA-M68MT-S2P, based on NVIDIA GeForce7025/ nForce630a chipset and supports new generation of 45nm AMD AM3 Phenom II/ AthlonII processors, integrated DirectX 9 graphics engine, DDR3 memory controller, PCI Express interface and so on. With the 50000 hours Japanese solid capacitors for CPU VRM design, the GA-M68MT-S2P is able to provide user friendly computing, reach the maximum system performance easily while still able to save the power and environment in real life at the same time.
<b>Supports next generation of 45nm AMD AM3 CPU</b>
This motherboard features Split Power Plane, 4+1 phase VRM to support AMD's latest 45nm AM3 Athlon II/ Phenom II series processors, delivering greater performance enhancements and the ultimate in hardware scalability.
* If you install AMD AM3 CPU on this motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM3 CPU will not be impacted. Please refer "CPU Support List" for more information.
<b>NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a GPU</b>
The brand new NVIDIA^&reg; GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA^&reg; nForce 630aGPU features CineFX™ 3.0 Engine. This unique combination of 7025 GPU creates a single motherboard featuring a world-class DX9, Shader Model 3.0 GPU for faster and smoother game-play, a high quality video processing engine for advance quality of video and DVD playback.
<b>PCI Express Interface</b>
Revolutionary PCI Express interface provides scalable bandwidth for multi-purpose usage.
