DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR memory which features data transfer rates of

800MHz/667 MHz/533 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the

latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR

architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system

performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 1.8 GB/s.

See pages 1-13 to 1-16 for details.

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology

that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial

interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data

in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI

specifications. See page 1-20 for details.

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.
