Features
The Watchdog Timer function allows your
application to regularly “clear” the system at
the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will
reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to
operate.
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology
whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3
GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-
tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2
SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory
voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations
such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-
fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
The graphics flexibility of the built-in Intel GMA3100
delivers exceptional 3D graphics performance. It sup-
ports analog CRT and LVDS interfaces.
The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 5.1-
channel audio only when the audio utility is configured
to support this function. Both mic-in and line-in jacks will function as
center/subwoofer and rear right/left audio outputs respectively. The
front audio connector which allows connecting to the front panel of
the system will only support mic-in and line-out audio output.
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant
with SATA 1.0 specification. With speed of up to
3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard
parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
The Realtek PCI Express Gigabit LAN controller
supports up to 1Gbps data transmission.
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth
while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-
puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug
and Play peripherals.
