1.3.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

The PP-DLW motherboard supports the Intel

®

Xeon processor via dual

604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel

®

NetBurst™ micro-architecture that includes Hyper-Threading technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 533/400MHz system bus, and an execution trace
cache to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more
information.

DDR memory support

Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the PP-DLW
motherboard supports up to 8GB of system memory using PC2100/1600
unbuffered/registered ECC/non-ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 266MHz
memory bus doubles the speed of the PC133 SDRAM to deliver the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications.

Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots

The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the
next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133/100MHz bus. The
PCI-X specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI
buses and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management
cards.

AGP Pro 8x/4X slot

The motherboard supports the latest graphic architecture, the AGP Pro/8X
interface (a.k.a. AGP 3.0), offering 2.1GB/s bandwidth which is twice that
of its predecessor AGP 4X.

Onboard LAN

The motherboard comes with the Intel

®

82540EM Gigabit LAN controller

to fully support 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access
Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant), and provide Physical Layer Transceiver
solution for high performance network applications.
