Biostar Releases Mini-ITX Motherboard With Integrated Intel N3150 CPU

Biostar released a new Mini-ITX motherboard with an integrated CPU. The N3150NH motherboard features a preinstalled Intel N3150 1.6 GHz quad-core CPU and has support for 8 GB of DDR3L-1600 RAM, or up to 16 GB of DDR3L-1066.

 The board comes equipped with Realtek ALC662 six channel audio and a Realtek TRL8111H gigabit LAN controller. Video output is handled through either a single HDMI or VGA port.

There are also four USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports on the back, and one USB 3.0 header on the board for expansion. The USB ports feature Charger Booster technology, which Biostar has claimed can charge Apple devices up to 42 percent faster than a typical charger.

Biostar has included software called SmartSpeedLAN that monitors for the LAN controller. This application can be used to not only monitor, but can also be used to prioritize network traffic. It will let you prioritize types of traffic (streaming video, gaming, communications, etc.) and will also let you specify applications to be prioritized, or even blocked.
