Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
The motherboard supports up to 4GB of system memory using PC3200/2700/2100
non-ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to 6.4GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D
graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 1-13.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard bundles the new Serial ATA technology through the SATA
interfaces onboard. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables
with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer
rate, and software compatibility with the legacy Parallel ATA. See page 1-22.
Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
The Intel
®
865G chipset integrates the Intel
®
Extreme Graphics 2 architecture to
deliver realistic 3D/2D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth motion,
and clearly defined details. This unique architecture balances the memory usage
between graphics and the system for optimal performance. See page 1-5.
AGP 8X support
The motherboard also mounts an AGP 8X interface (a.k.a. AGP 3.0), offering
2.1GB/s bandwidth which is twice that of its predecessor AGP 4X. The slot
supports the ASUS DVI card that includes TV, LCD, and digital video output ports.
See page 1-17.

style to your system with customizable boot logos. The ASUS MyLogo™ is
automatically installed when you install the ASUS Update utility from Utilities menu

loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a
floppy disk. See page 2-4.
