AMD

Phenom™ X4 / Phenom™ X3 / Athlon™ X2 / Athlon™ /

Sempron™ processors (socket AM2+/AM2)

This motherboard supports AMD

Socket AM2+ multi-core processors.

It features dual-channel DDR2 1066 memory support, data transfer rate

up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport™ 3.0 based system bus, and AMD

Cool ‘n’ Quiet™ Technology.

HyperTransport

3.0 support

HyperTransport

3.0 technology provides 2.6 times more bandwith than

HyperTransport

1.0, radically improving system efficiency to create a

smoother, faster computing environment.

64-bit CPU support

64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace the current

32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster

memory access, and increased productivity. This motherboard provides

excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit

architecture.

ATI CrossFireX™ Ready

ATI’s CrossFireX boosts image quality along with rendering speed,

eliminating the need to scale down screen resolutions to get the high

image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing,

anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust

your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings,

and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATI’s

Catalyst™ Control Center to rule your CrossFireX system.

High Definition Audio

Enjoy high-end sound quality on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD

audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC

enables high-quality 192KHz / 24-bit audio output, jack-detect feature.

AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology

The motherboard supports the AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology, which

monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and

frequency for a cool and quiet operating environment.

Dual channel DDR2 1066

This motherboard supports native DDR2 1066. It provides faster data

transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate

and computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics

and other memory demanding applications.
