ECS KV2 Extreme motherboard delivers luxury performance for the AMD Athlon 64 revolution

2004/03/16 Product News
Elitegroup Computer Systems today added to its high-end Extreme line the premium KV2 Extreme motherboard that supports the revolutionary AMD Athlon 64FX CPU with 939-pin socket design and features high performance Dual Channel DDR 400.

Dual Channel DDR memory architecture, a VIA K8T800Pro chipset and outstanding connectivity plus an array of outstanding Extreme features that include dazzling performance, built-to last luxury, outstanding stability and superior monitoring capabilities, add a new and exciting element to the 64-bit technology experience. As part of the high end Extreme series, the KV2 Extreme is evidence of ECS's innovation and leadership as the widely acknowledged 'King of the motherboard.'

The ECS KV2 Extreme supports the AMD Athlon 64FX CPU that advances X86 PCs from 32-bit to the 64-bit processing. This processing power was previously only available for workstations or servers. With its enhanced 1GHz front side bus speed and Dual Channel DDR 400, the ECS Extreme creates a balanced platform that is optimized for memory demanding applications such as 3D graphics in advanced games, 3D modeling, high resolution video editing and playback in addition to other multi application and multi tasking applications.

With this outstanding performance, the KV2 Extreme was designed for users of high performance digital media, enterprise data asset management, engineering, CAD-CAM, thin client user, encryption, modeling, simulation, statistics and financial analysis applications that require large amounts of physical and virtual memory.

The AMD Athlon 64 computing platform enables HyperTransport technology, which helps reduce system bottlenecks for more efficient system memory access. With the 16-bit data transfer mode, FSB 2GHz, resulted in a bandwidth of up to 8GB/s, an integrated DDR memory controller in the CPU, AGP 8X interface and outstanding connectivity, the KV2 Extreme has the power and performance to deal with today's most demanding multi-media applications.


Like all ECS Extreme motherboards, the KV2 Extreme delivers revolutionary proprietary features.

For longevity and stability, the KV2 Extreme's Acceleration Extreme employs the world's best aluminum V-chip capacitors for ultimate stability, efficient signal transmission, explosion proofing and outstanding ventilation. It's six-layer server-grade PCB layout insulation eliminates signal spillover slowdowns, but doesn't decrease signal transmission speed. OS-con quality capacitors provide ultra signal quality for outstanding audio and video performance.

For risk-free operations, KV2 Extreme's Anti-Burn Guardian provides a 'safety first' memory module alert. And in the event of a BIOS crash, Top-Hat Flash, ECS's patented external dual BIOS recovery system, boots the motherboard from a new flash ROM for easy recovery.

KV2 Extreme's intelligent system monitoring tools include Dr. LED for PCI card performance monitoring, AGP A.I. for AGP status information and Memory LED for monitoring memory module health.

Luxury computing features include a Dual LAN, support for new, super fast 150MB/s serial ATA devices with four S-ATA ports and 1G transfer rates through Giga LAN plus RAID technology for faster data access and better data security, Dual
SPDIF coaxial and optical SPDIF audio connections and 6/8 Channel Audio for uncompromising DVD audio quality – including 3D surround sound.
