Motherboard Special Features
Latest Processor Technology
The Motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array (LGA) socket
designed for the Intel® Core 2 Duo, Pentium® D, Pentium 4 processor in the 775-
land package. The Motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with 533,
800 and 1066MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The Motherboard also supports the Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology and is fully compatible with Intel® 04B and 04A
processors.
Intel 945G
The Intel® 945G graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and the ICH7 I/O
controller hub provide the vital interfaces for the Motherboard. The GMCH features
the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, an integrated graphics engine for
enhanced 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The GMCH provides the interface for a
processor in the 775-land package with 533/800/1066 MHz front side bus (FSB),
dual channel DDR2 at speeds of up to 667 MHz, and PCI Express x16 interface for a
graphics card.
The Intel® ICH7 Southbridge represents the seventh generation I/O controller hub
that provides the interface for PCI Express and 8-channel high definition audio.
Dual Channel DDR2 Memory Support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR2) memory technology, the Motherboard
supports up to 4 GB of system memory using DDR2 667/533DIMMs. The ultra-fast
667 MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics,
multimedia, and Internet applications.
PCI Express Interface
The Motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology
that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial
interconnections between devices and allows higher clock speeds by carrying data in
packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI
specifications.
Serial ATA Technology
The Motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel® ICH7. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more
