Biostar TF7150U-M7 Motherboard Highlights
|
The Biostar
TF7150U-M7 motherboard has an orange PCI Express x1 slot, a yellow PCI
Express x16 slot for videocards and two green 32 bit PCI slots for older
hardware. At the bottom of the motherboard you'll find the front panel
audio connector, the CD in and SPDIF out headers along with the Parallel
port header and three USB headers.

The bottom right hand corner of the motherboard packs in four Serial
ATA II/RAID ports and the front panel I/O header. The little red jumper is
for clearing the CMOS. To make things easier for hardware enthusiasts,
Biostar places power and reset buttons on the
motherboard.

At the top right hand corner of
the Biostar TF7150U-M7 motherboard we find the two DDR2 memory slots
along with the floppy, IDE and main ATX power connectors. With only two
memory slots and the onboard GeForce 7150 sapping up to 512MB of memory,
jump the 2GB line and pick up a 4G DDR2 memory kit. Memory prices have
really fallen over the last few months for DDR2, and 4GB memory kits from
Crucial are quite affordable
now.

There's plenty of
space around the Intel LGA775 CPU socket if you
want to install a large aftermarket heatsink. There are some nice passive and ultra-low-noise Intel
heatsinks there, and quiet PCs are where the money's
at.
