AMD ® 880G Chipset
The AMD ® 880G Chipset is designed to support up to 5200MT/s
HyperTransport™ 3.0 (HT 3.0) interface speed and PCI Express 2.0
x16 graphics. It is optimized with AMD’s latest AM3 multi-core CPUs to
provide excellent system performance and overclocking capabilities.
DDR3 1866(O.C.)/1333/1066 support
This motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer
rates of 1866(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth
requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth
of your system memory to boost system performance.
DVI support
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) provides high visual quality for digital
display devices such as LCD monitors. The interface of this motherboard
supports dual display output on both HDMI/DVI-D and D-Sub.
HDMI support
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a set of digital video
standards that deliver multi-channel digital audio and uncompressed
digital video for full HD 1080p visuals through a single cable. Supporting
HDCP copy protection such as HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, HDMI
provides you with the highest-quality home theater experience.
8-channel high definition audio
The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously
codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio
output and jack-detect feature that automatically detects and identifies
what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies
users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more
confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.
Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology and RAID support
This motherboard supports hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA)
3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling
the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and save. It also supports
RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations for Serial ATA hard drives.
S/PDIF out connector at the back panel
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home
theater audio systems via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital
Interface) out connector at the back panel. The S/PDIF transfers digital
audio without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal
quality.
