Intel® Core
TM
2 Processor Ready
This mainboard supports the latest Intel® Core
TM
2 processor in the LGA775 package. With the new Intel®
Core
TM
2 micorarchitecture technology and 1333/1066/800 MHz FSB, Intel® Core
TM
2 processor is one of
the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.
Intel® Q35 Express Chipset
The Intel® Q35 Express Chipset provides all business with more effective costs management, safer
computing environment, and deploys more responsive PCs. It features the integrated graphics engine,
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100.
DDR2 Memory Support
The mainboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of 800/667MHz to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel
DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, and
eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 12.8GB/s.
Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s Technology
The mainboard supports the Serial ATA (SATA) technology through 4 Serial ATA II interface from Intel®
ICH9 chipset. And 1 Serial ATA II interface through Marvell® 88SE6111. The SATA II specification allows
for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement (compared to IDE
specification), and provides up to 300MB/s data transfer rate.
IEEE 1394a Support
The IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video appliances such as digital
television, digital video camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable devices.
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The mainboard supports the S/PDIF-out (SONY/PHILIPS Digital Interface) function through the S/PDIF
interface. It allows to transfer digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal
quality.
High Definition Audio
