Feature

Processor
The motherboard uses an LGA775 type of Intel
TM
Core 2 Quad/Core
400 series processors that carries the following features:
• Accommodates Intel
TM
Core
series processors
• Supports a system bus (FSB) of 1333/1066/800 MHz
• Supports "Hyper-Threading" technology CPU
"Hyper-Threading" technology enables the operating system into thinking it's
hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both on
separate "logical" processors within the same physical processor.
