On-Board Peripherals
Due to chipset (Intel 865PE) architecture limitation, a FSB 800 Pentium 4
processor will support DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 memory module. A FSB 533 Pentium 4
processor will support DDR333 and DDR266 memory module.
(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system
usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.
For example, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory
during system startup.
Only for GA-8IPE775 Pro.
Supports the latest Intel Pentium
