Biostar is releasing three new motherboards this week, each featuring dual Gigabit LAN on-board that will make networking and gaming even better with what Biostar are calling the “6+ Experience”. To achieve this, the “Hi-Fi B85S2G”, “Hi-Fi A88S2G”, and “Hi-Fi B85N 3D” have Gigabit LAN connections on the board that allow simultaneous LAN connections, giving you room for much better network performance.
Doubling bandwidth gives you room for things like full-duplex transmission, two networks can be simultaneously transmitted to upload and download at the same time. In addition, there is zero packet delay with two high-speed gigabit networks, giving super high data transmission efficiency. Another major advantage is Load Balancing. This allows users to attach both network adapters to a single network. This can allow for double the network bandwidth of a single connection under certain circumstances. These Biostar motherboards will therefore support the aggregation “teaming” function. Just merge the two connections to support multiple aggregation mode. Advanced users will no doubt be excited about this setup as it also means you can turn your system into a software router.
“With Biostar’s dual Gigabit LAN connections you get network insurance. These boards come with two Gigabit Ethernet lightning protection circuits, there are cross-efficient in reducing the probability of damage from lightning or other power surge. So if one connection is disabled the other connection will automatically kick in.” said Biostar in a recent press release.
With 6+ Experience boards, users will have the following enhancements in the areas of BIOSTAR expertise: Audio+, Video+, Speed+, Protection+, Durability+ and DIY+.
The new boards certainly sound like great products, the only issue I have is that they’re pretty ugly to look at. Of course looks aren’t everything when it comes to internal components, but it certainly never hurts retail sales for something to look cool. These could be a good solution for those wanting to focus on networking and perhaps even HTPC style builds.
Thank you BioStar for providing us with this information.
