Latest processor technology

The motherboard comes with a 940-pin AM2 socket that supports AMD

Athlon™ 64 X2/Athlon™ 64/Athlon™ FX/Sempron™ processor. With

an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth memory controller and a

highly scalable HyperTransport™ technology-based system bus, the

motherboard provides a powerful platform for your diverse computing

needs, increased office productivity, and enhanced digital media

experience. See page 2-6.

AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet!™ Technology

The motherboard supports the AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet!™ Technology that

dynamically and automatically changes the CPU speed, voltage and

amount of power depending on the task the CPU performs. See pages

4-18 and 5-20.

DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates

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

latest 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 10.7 GB/s. See pages 2-11 to 2-13 for details.

Serial ATA Technology Support

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial

ATA interfaces and the VIA VT8237A. 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 pages 2-23 and

2-24 for details.

Onboard RAID Solution

The motherboard provides a high-performance Serial ATA RAID controller

that enhances hard disk performance and data backup protection without

the cost of additional RAID cards.
