Features of Motherboard

The P43 Express and ICH10 chipset motherboard series are based on Intel P43 Express chipset
and ICH10 chipsets technology which supports the innovative 45nm and 65nm Quad-Core,
Dual-Core Intel® Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo processors, Intel® Pentium Dual Core, Intel®
Celeron Dual Core Conroe processors and Intel® Celeron 400 Conroe-L processors.
The P43 Express and ICH10 chipset Based motherboard series deliver the revolutionary levels
of performance enabling vivid, high-definition experiences and multi-tasking responsiveness
from state-of-the-art Intel dual-core and quad-core technologies and AMD CrossFireX
Technology through the high bandwidth of dual channel DDR2 800 / 667MHz system
memories which are expandable to 16GB and the next generation PCI Express interface for
the latest graphics cards from both AMD and NVIDIA. The P43 Express and ICH10 chipset
motherboard series are absolutely the ultimate solution for game enthusiasts and applications,
and it also meets the demanding usage of computing of gaming, multimedia entertainment
and business applications.
The INTEL P43 Express and ICH10 chipset motherboard series are embedded with ICH10
chipset of providing six serial ATA2 interface of 3.0 Gb / s data transfer rate for six serial
ATA devices.
The P43 Express and ICH10 chipset based motherboard provides gigabit LAN function by using
the Realtek RTL8111C PCI Gigabit LAN which supports 10M / 100M / 1Gbps data transfer
rate. Embedded 8-channel ALC883 HD CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro ®
standards that offer you with the home cinema quality and absolutely software compatibility.
The P43 Express chipset Based motherboard series offer two PCI-Express x16 graphics slots
that support CrossFireX mode. One PCI-Express2.0 x16@16lane graphics slot offers 8
Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which get 7 times of bandwidth more
than AGP8X and up to 16Gbyte/sec concurrent bandwidth at full speed, the other
PCI-Express 1.0a x16@4lane graphics slots deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate.These
two graphics slots are fully compatible with the latest AMD CrossFireX Technology and
avoid the possible CrossFireX installation error. Two PCI Express1.0a x1 I/O slots offer
512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbye/sec,
tackling the most demanding multimedia tasks nowadays. Two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the
rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals.
Embedded USB controllers as well as capability of expanding to 10 of USB2.0 functional
ports delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth of rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future
USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
