Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 2-1 Install LGA 775 Supported Intel Processor This motherboard provides a 775-pin surface mount, LGA775 Land Grid Array socket, referred to as the LGA775 socket supports Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 775 Pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA) package technology. The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
1. 2. One DIMM Module ----Plug in DIMM1 Two DIMM Modules---Plug in DIMM1 and DIMM2 for Dual channel function For Dual channel Limited! 3. 4. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1 & DIMM2 DIMM1 & DIMM2 must be the same type, same size, and same frequency for dual channel function. Install DDR2 SDRAM modules to your motherboard is not difficult, you can refer to figure below to see how to install a 240-Pin DDR2 533/DDR2 667/DDR2 800 SDRAM module.
2-3 Expansion Cards The G41 motherboard series offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of 8Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 7 times of bandwidth more than AGP 8X and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 16Gbyte/sec at full speed to guarantee the ultimate GPU computing performance. One PCI Express x1 I/O slot and two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals.
