ABIT HAS spilled some beans about its next-generation Nforce 5 motherboard.

The company will unveil the board around Computex time, but it looks quite finished to us. The outfit with a new logo already made some nice pictures of it.

The board is called KN9 and it supports AMD's upcoming socket AM2 CPUs. It also supports DDR 2 memory and it is an SLI board. Abit continues its tradition of cooling the chipsets with a heat pipe and that suggests the board will be quite a quiet one.

The board has two PCIe 1X slots and a two in good-old PCI flavour, just enough for a PhysX and a decent Sound Blaster card. The board comes with two Network adaptors, four USB 2.0 ports a sound out and a PS2 port.

It supports dual-channel DDR 2 800 and uses the Nforce 570 SLI MCP chipset.

Here are the pictures to feast your eyes on. You can see the new logo on the box. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
