A long-life industrial powerhouse featuring Intel's 3rd-generation Core i Ivy Bridge platform, the Jetway NF9G-QM77 offers a plethora of options for the most demanding of applications, while maintaining backwards compatibility with Sandy Bridge Core i processors. Designed to take advantage of Ivy Bridge's improved PCI express bandwidth, the NF9G offers plenty of expansion options: a full PCIe x16 slot, dual PCIe Mini Card slots (one half-size and one full-size which doubles as mSATA), and the second generation of Jetway's line of expansion daughterboards, which now uses the faster PCI Express bus (x4).
These daughterboards support up to four additional LAN ports, four serial ports, and even an option for a low-power, compact Nvidia GeForce GT610M GPU to supplement the onboard graphics. The default I/O complement is no slouch, either, offering HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA, as well as COM, dual Intel gigabit LAN, and four USB ports (including two USB 3.0 ports). This mainboard is excellent for use in demanding multimedia applications such as digital signage, desktop computing, image acquisition, and others that require high-performance onboard graphics or high-speed data transfer.
