Asus
just announced the N4L-VM DH (
PR),
a desktop microATX board designed for Intel's Core Duo mobile processors. The
board uses the Intel 945GT chipset, and is Intel Viiv and Dolby Master Studio
certified. Dolby Master Studio support includes Dolby Digital Live, which
converts stereo or multichannel audio for Dolby Digital receivers, but it's
unclear whether the board does this in hardware or software. The N4L-VM DH also
features Intel GMA 950 graphics with onboard VGA and RCA TV-out, as well as dual
SATA RAID (including one external SATA port), dual FireWire, and Gigabit LAN.
Asus will also sell a separate R-DVI-ADD2 card that adds DVI output to the
motherboard.
