1.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Intel ® 65nm Single and Dual-Core CPU support
This motherboard supports Intel ® Pentium ® 4 single and dual-core
processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm) process technology with
copper interconnect. Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores
with dedicated L2 caches to meet demands for more powerful processing.
Intel ® 65nm process is the most advanced chip manufacturing technology,
delivering breakthrough performance, enhanced media experience,
and low power consumption. Intel ® 65nm processors utilize the latest
package technologies for a thinner, lighter design without compromising
performance.
Latest processor technology
The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array
(LGA) socket designed for the Intel ® Pentium ® 4 processor in the 775-land
package. The motherboard supports the Intel ® Pentium ® 4 processor with
1066/800/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The motherboard also supports
the Intel ® Hyper-Threading Technology and is fully compatible with Intel ®
05B/05A or 04B/04A processors.
Intel ® EM64T
The motherboard supports Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPUs with the Intel ® EM64T
(Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel ® EM64T feature allows your
computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of
system memory for faster and more efficient computing. See the Appendix
for details.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep ® Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep ® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages
the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core
frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power
requirement. See page 4-22 and the Appendix for details.
Intel ® 945G and Intel ® ICH7R chipset
The Intel ® 945G Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel ® ICH7R (I/O
controller hub) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR2-400/533/667 memory,
and PCI Express interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O
controller hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.2, USB 2.0, and SATA
among others.
