Special features

Latest processor technology

The motherboard supports dual Intel

Xeon™ Processors via 604-pin surface

mount ZIF sockets. The processor has 1MB L2 cache, includes an 800/533

MHz system bus, and features the Intel Hyper-Threading Technology that

allows up to 3.4+ GHz core frequencies.

Dual-channel DDR400 memory support

Employing the dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the motherboard

provides a solution that doubles the system memory bandwidth to boost

system performance. The motherboard supports up to 4 GB of system

memory using PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 ECC or non-ECC DDR DIMMs to

deliver up to 6.4 GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics,

multimedia, and Internet applications.

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard supports the new Serial ATA technology through the

SATA interfaces and the Intel

6300ESB ICH and Promise

PDC20319

controllers onboard. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more

flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up

to 150MB/s data transfer rate.

Multi-RAID solution

The motherboard has the Promise

PDC20319 controller to support multi-

RAID solution using Serial ATA/150 hard disks. The RAID0 (striping),

RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID 0+1 provide a cost-effective high-

performance solution for added system performance and reliability.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12

Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is

backward compatible with USB 1.1.
