DP43BF board shown
ATX Form Factor
The ideal platform for a discrete
graphics system with performance
and reliability built in
The Intel® Desktop Boards DP43BF and
DP43BFL support the Intel® Core™2 Quad**,
Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Pentium®, and Intel®
Celeron® processors in the LGA775 package.
Both boards support dual-channel DDR3
with four connectors for 1333 / 1066 MHz
memory support (8 GB 1 max). As ATX form
factor discrete graphics desktop boards,
the Intel Desktop Boards DP43BF and
DP43BFL offer abundant expansion capa-
bilities including one PCI Express* 2.0 x16
graphics connector, two PCI Express* 2.0 x1
connectors, two IEEE 1394a ports (DP43BF
only), one eSATA port (DP43BF only), and
four PCI connectors. Premium features such
as Intel® Matrix Storage Technology (DP43BF
only), Intel® High Definition Audio 2 (Intel® HD
Audio) with 7.1 + 2-channel multistreaming
and an S/PDIF audio port enhance applica-
tion performance, system reliability, and the
digital media experience.
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
(DP43BF only)
The Intel Desktop Board DP43BF features
ICH10R and Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Intel
Matrix Storage Technology provides new
levels of protection, performance, and
expandability for desktop platforms.
Whether using one or multiple hard drives,
users can take advantage of enhanced
performance and lower power consump-
tion. When using more than one drive, the
user has additional protection against data
loss in the event of hard drive failure.
Valuable digital memories are protected
against a hard drive failure when the
system is configured for any one of three
fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5, or 10.
By seamlessly storing copies of data on
one or more additional hard drives, any
hard drive can fail without data loss or
system downtime.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology can also
improve the performance of disk-intensive
retrieval applications such as editing home
videos. By combining two to six drives in a
RAID 0 configuration, data can be accessed
on each drive simultaneously, speeding up
response time on data-intensive applications.
