Intel
®
Core™2 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel
®
Core™2 processors in LGA775
package. With new Intel
®
Core™ microarchitecture technology and
1600(OC) MHz FSB, Intel
®
Core™2 processor is one of the most powerful
and energy efficient CPU in the world.
Intel
®
G31 chipset
The Intel
®
G31 Express Chipset boosts your gaming and multimedia
experience with the integrated graphics engine Intel
®
Graphics Media
Accelerator 3100. It supports 1333MHz FSB (front-side-bus), and delivers
breakthrough advances in 3D and 2D graphics; and video capabilities.
This integrated chipset is able to meet the changing display requirements
of visually rich applications and features the Intel
®
Clear Video Technology
- which trailblazes new standards in high-definition video, crisp imaging, and
accurate color control.
Dual-Channel DDR2 1066 (OC)
Dual-channel DDR2 technology doubles the bandwidth of your system
memory and hence boost the system performance to out perform any
memory existing solutions in the market.
Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology
This motherboard supports hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA)
3Gb/s storage specifications, delivering enhanced scalability and
doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data saving and retrieval.
PCI Express architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace
the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP
8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in
applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 and x4 also outperforms
PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth. The high speed PCI
Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN,
1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
FSB 1600 support (O.C.)
ASUS’s exclusive overclocking design now unleashes the ultimate
potential of the Intel
®
Core™2 processor. With the new Intel 45nm micro-
architecture technology and FSB 1600 (O.C.) / 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz,
this motherboard allows you to enjoy the latest technology supported by
one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
