®
Sempron™ processors (socket AM2+/AM2)
This motherboard supports AMD
It features dual-channel DDR2 1066 memory support, data transfer rate
up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport™ 3.0 based system bus, and AMD
Cool 'n' Quiet™ Technology.
HyperTransport
TM
HyperTransport 3.0 technology provides 2.6 times more bandwith than
TM
HyperTransport 1.0, radically improving system efficiency to create a
TM
smoother, faster computing environment.
64-bit CPU support
64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace the current
32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster
memory access, and increased productivity. This motherboard provides
excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit
architecture.
ATI CrossFireX™ Ready
ATI's CrossFireX boosts image quality along with rendering speed,
eliminating the need to scale down screen resolutions to get the high
image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing,
anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust
your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings,
and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATI's
Catalyst™ Control Center to rule your CrossFireX system.

High Definition Audio

Enjoy high-end sound quality on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD
audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC
enables high-quality 192KHz / 24-bit audio output, jack-detect feature.
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet Technology
The motherboard supports the AMD Cool 'n' Quiet Technology, which
monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and
frequency for a cool and quiet operating environment.
Dual channel DDR2 1066
This motherboard supports native DDR2 1066. It provides faster data
transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate
and computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics
and other memory demanding applications.
