Description
Intel Xeon E processor and ECC memory Supports Memory capacity up to 64GB. Intel Xeon E processor provides enhanced performance and capability. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory, it can eliminate small data discrepancies and prevent data corruption to ensure reliability for critical applications while helping to reduce system crashes. Broad DDR4 Compatibility with Support List of 1000+ DDR4 Validated! GIGABYTE partners very closely with memory vendors from around the world to ensure that modules offered by popular memory brands are compatible with GIGABYTE Motherboards. GIGABYTE has verified over 1000+ different modules to ensure performance in a GIGABYTE built system. PCIe x16 slot Bifurcation support Breaking the limits on a Mini-ITX form factor, GIGABYTE’s C246N-WU2 expands the support for PCI-Express via a bifurcation mode. This feature allows users to take advantage of a single PCI-Express x16 slot, through the use of a riser card, and transform their PCI-Express slot into two (2) full length PCI-Express slots, each supporting x8 PCIe lanes. NVIDIA QUADRO Professional Graphics Supports NVIDIA QUADRO 3D Workstation Professional Graphics Solutions are designed and built specifically for artists, designers, and engineers, NVIDIA Quadro GPUs power more than 100 professional applications across a broad range of industries. Professionals trust them to enable their best work using applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Suites, Dassault Systemes, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, and many more.
