1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
®
The motherboard supports the latest Intel
Pentium™ 4 processor via a
478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The processor with 1 MB/512 KB L2
cache includes a 800/533/400 MHz system bus and features the Intel
Hyper-Threading Technology and new power design that allow up to
3.4+ GHz core frequencies . The motherboard fully supports the new
®
generation 90 nm Pentium
4 processor.
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 PC3200/2700/2100 ECC or non-ECC DDR DIMMs to
deliver up to 6.4 GB/s data transfer rate for various server applications.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the new Serial ATA technology through the
®
SATA interfaces and the Intel
6300ESB. The SATA specification allows for
thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. For Serial ATA
®
models, the Adaptec
AIC-8110X chip supports four additional SATA
connectors to give you six fully-compatible SATA interfaces. For IDE
®
models, the Intel
6300ESB ICH provides RAID 0 and RAID 1 solution for
two Serial ATA interfaces using the Windows
®
XP operating system.
Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) solution (optional on SATA and SCSI
models only)
The motherboard supports the optional Zero Channel RAID card in
SODIMM package for a multi-RAID solution using Serial ATA150 hard disk
drives or Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drives. The RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1
(mirroring), RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 provide a cost-effective, reliable and
high-performance server system.
