Asustek launches Skype enabled motherboards

Asustek Computer has announced that they would be launching some new motherboard products, which support Skype technology.

These motherboards would come with phone jacks and would help the users convert their home telephone lines to Internet phones using Skype technology.

These two motherboards are: M2N/TeleSky and P5B/TeleSky and they also come with Asus TeleSky telecom adaptor onboard. Asustek is also going to give 60 SkypeOut minutes with these motherboards.

These minutes can be used by the owners to make voice calls directly to telephones. Making calls to people using Skype applications is already free.

Charles Chen, motherboard product manager at Asustek added that these products would be available on sale in the retail market in the coming weeks.

The M2N/TeleSky motherboard would work with Socket 2 microprocessors from AMD and supports DDR2 memory chips. P5B/TeleSky on the other hand supports platform LGA775 microprocessors and is compatible with Intel Quad-core, Core 2 Duo, Pentium Extreme, D and Celeron.
