The K9N2 Diamond is truly a nice board to work with.
With a laundry list of features you will be spoilt if you buy one. Not only does it support quad and triple SLI, but also Hybrid SLI, and if you don’t buy an extra graphics card you at least get a DVI-D port and an adapter to support HDMI output.
The board has 2 ATA133 thanks to the nForce chipset design.
The layout has been carefully planned, the coolers have been specially shaped to allow the installation of large cards like the monster BFG 9800GX2 cards that we installed for quad SLI.
In fact the only area of the board that became inaccessible were the power, restart, and clear CMOS buttons that are on the board itself, but we have to note that had we installed the board into a case then we obviously would not have needed to use those buttons.
