The motherboard comes with dual 604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets
designed for the Intel
(FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. The processor incorporates the Intel
Hyper-Threading Technology, the Intel
features hyper-pipelined technology, and Extended Memory 64-bit
Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation
system, such as 64-bit Windows

The Intel ® E7320 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel
controller hub (ICH) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR-333 registered ECC
memory, and PCI Express interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server
class I/O controller hub that provides the interface for PCI-X 1.0.

The motherboard supports DDR 333 registered ECC memory which features
data transfer rates of 333 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of
the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel
DDR 333 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to
boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of
up to 5.3 GB/s.

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces controlled by the Intel
(optional). 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 for 6300 ESB and 300 MB/s for AIC-8130. See page 2-27 and
2-28 for details.
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI or PCI-X specifications. See page 2-18 for details.
