Introduction of Intel G41 Motherboard Series

1-1 Features of motherboard

The Intel G41 chipset motherboard series are based on the latest Intel G41 Express Chipset
and Intel ICH7 Chipset technology which supports the innovative 65nm and 90nm Intel®
Pentium® 4 Processor， Celeron 4xx Processor, Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D Processor 8 and
9 Series, Intel® Core 2 Quad, Intel® Core 2 Duo® (Code Name: Conroe) Processor with
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and fully supports the future 45nm processors. The
motherboard is optimized to deliver innovative features and professional desktop platform
solution with the advantages of the new generation dual core Intel® Core 2 Duo® Processor for
those who demand the best experience of personal computing. Through the high bandwidth of
dual channel DDR2 533MHz/DDR2 667MHz /DDR2 800 system memories which are
expandable to 8GB.
The motherboards implement Intel G41 Express Chipset which supports Front Side Bus
1333MHz of data transferring and offers with 266/333MHz/400MHz memory clock frequency
for Dual channel DDRII533/DDRII667/DDRII800 memory DIMM to double the performance
of memory access. The motherboard is embedded with ICH7 chipset of providing one parallel
Ultra ATA 100 interface for one IDE drives and four serial ATA2 interface of 3Gb / s data
transfer rate for four serial ATA devices.
The G41 motherboard series offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of 8Gbyte/sec data
transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 7 times of bandwidth more than AGP 8X
and up to 16Gbyte/sec peak concurrent bandwidth at full speed to guarantee the ultimate GPU
computing performance. One PCI Express x1 I/O slots and two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the
rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals. The motherboards are designed of tackling the
profuse multimedia requirements nowadays.
The motherboards provide 10/100 Ethernet LAN function by using the PCI-E megabit LAN.
The embedded Realtek ALC662 chipset is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro standards
providing HD audio 6-CH CODEC offers you with the home cinema quality and satisfying
software compatibility.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional ports
delivering 480Mb/s of rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the demands of future USB
peripherals which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
Some special features---CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift /OC-CON in this
motherboard are designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more flexible
ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking maybe causes the fails in system
reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands
of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with
variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read
the detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.
