Features

The Watchdog Timer function allows your

application to regularly “clear” the system at

the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will

reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to

operate.

The system board supports Intel proces-

sors with Hyper-Threading Technology. Ena-

bling the functionality of Hyper-Threading

Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following

platforms.

Components:

• CPU - an Intel

Pentium

4 Processor with HT Technology

• Chipset - an Intel

chipset that supports HT Technology

• BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT

Technology

Please refer to Appendix A for information about enabling the func-

tionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology. For more information on

Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.

Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a

type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through

reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock.

This effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling

the speed of data transfer.

The Intel 865G Northbridge chip comes integrated

with the Intel

Extreme Graphics 2 technology pro-

viding 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth motion

and extreme detail. It supports the latest 2D and 3D APIs, deliver-

ing real-life environment and character effects.
