Intel
®
65nanometer process technology support
The motherboard supports Intel ® processors built on the 65-nanometer
(nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Intel’s 65 nm process is
the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough
performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption.
The Intel ® 65 nm Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for
a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology,
the motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using
DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See 1-15 to 1-18 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces and the Intel ® ICH5 chipset. The SATA specification allows
for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-27 for details.
6-channel audio support
The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1888JCPZ high-definition audio
CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to
buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-24 and page 1-25 for details.
AGP 8X support
The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enhances graphics
performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0
is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 1-25 and page 1-30 for
details.
