MSI K8NGM2-NBP (also showing MSI 7600GT HDCP Video as example, including Corsair C2 DDR3200 and Retail Box CSIP AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU), though older this configuration runs Vista 64 Ultimate amazingly well.
Though designed for business and enterprise, the NVIDIA Business Platform also makes an ideal foundation for a tough, reliable, fast Home Entertainment system where security, reliability, durability and performance are also important.
Purchasing a certified NBP based system is a bit different then the purchase of any other computer system because each System Model is individually certified so there are no core options to choose from. See our current four models for more clarity on this...
Currently the NBP program is supported for socket 939 and 1st generation AM2 socket but nothing else has been offered, rather nVidia has chosen to make all it’s current 6xx / 7xx series cores business oriented but with no certification required,,,
NVIDIA focused on five core principles when designing the NVIDIA Business Platform:
- Quality
NVIDIA conducts a rigorous testing program to ensure the highest level of quality for NVIDIA Business Platform PCs. Motherboard manufacturers and system builders must pass an exhaustive certification process where both NVIDIA and the partner certify hardware and software components. - Stability
Once a NVIDIA Business Platform PC is qualified within your organization's IT environment, you can purchase same-generation machines for the next year and know that they will run smoothly. - Longevity
As part of the NVIDIA Stable Image Program, NVIDIA and its channel partners will release stable platforms on a yearly cadence. Each generation of NVIDIA Business Platform PCs will be available for purchase for at least 12 months with support continuing another two years after the end of the purchase cycle. - Security
The NVIDIA Business Platform features the NVIDIA ActiveArmor'" Firewall, the industry's first hardware-optimized firewall that protects PCs from malicious spyware and hacker attacks ActiveArmor keeps individual PCs secure while still allowing remote management traffic to administer the network. - Manageability
As part of the NVIDIA Business Platform, NVIDIA certifies remote management software packages from leading software companies.
