Building on the global success of its D815EA "Easton" motherboard, Intel has released second-generation variations that provide more flexibility and greater value for money. Dubbed the "Fayetteville", the D815EFV and D815EPFV motherboards comes optionally with or without graphics and LAN, and provide greater flexibility for users and system builders alike. The Micro-ATX form factor also provides economies of scale, as it is cheaper to manufacture.
"Intel will continue to manufacture the Easton board, so users who have standardised on this product can rest assured that it will still be available for some time to come," says Alex Morse, desktop product manager at Axiz. "The Fayetteville boards, in all variations, are immediately available from Axiz."
Numerous options allow both desktop boards to be integrated to fit the user`s needs including the option of Intel PRO/100 Network Connection (integrated LAN) or Communications and Networking Riser (CNR). Both desktop boards support the performance of Intel Pentium III processors with 133/100-MHz system bus as well as Intel Celeron processors with 100/66-MHz system bus.
Three PCI slots allow further expansion of the board`s capabilities. Graphics are flexible with the choice of utilising Intel integrated graphics (D815EFV) or adding a high-performance Universal 4X AGP card (both D815EFV or D815EPFV) for gamers or customers using graphic intensive applications.
The Intel 815E and 815EP platforms deliver the option of two chipsets; two form factors and competitive price points. These desktop solutions are available with Ultra ATA/100, AC`97 Audio, and 4 USB ports.
