LGA775 Intel ® Core™2 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processors in the LGA775 package. It
also supports Intel® 45nm multi-core CPUs. With the new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture
and 1600 / 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz FSB, Intel® Core™2 processor is one of the most
powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.
Intel ® P45 Chipset
The Intel® P45 Chipset is the latest chipset designed to support dual-channel DDR2 800/667
MHz memory architecture, 1333/1066/800 MHz FSB (Front Side Bus), PCIe 2.0, and multi-
core CPUs. It especially includes Intel® Fast Memory Access technology that significantly
optimizes the use of available memory bandwidth and reduces the latency of the memory
accesses.
Dual-Channel DDR2 1300 support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of 1300 /1200
/ 1066 / 800 / 667 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation
system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2
architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance,
eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 20.8 GB/s.
PCIe 2.0 Support
This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and bandwidth
which enhances system performance.
100% All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors! (5000hrs VRM, over
57 years operation lifespan at 65ºC)
This motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors for durability, improved
lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
ATI® CrossFireX™ Technology
ATI’s CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the
need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality images. CrossFireX™ allows
higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings. Adjust your display
configurations, experiment with the advanced 3D settings, and check the effects with a real-
time 3D-rendered previews within ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.
