Intel 65nanometer process technology support
®
The motherboard supports Intel processors built on the 65-nanometer
®
(nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Intel's 65 nm process is
the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough
performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption.
The Intel 65 nm Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for
®
a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology,
the motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using
DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See 1-15 to 1-18 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces and the Intel ICH5 chipset. 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. See page 1-27 for details.
6-channel audio support
The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1888JCPZ high-definition audio
CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to
buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-24 and page 1-25 for details.
AGP 8X support
The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enhances graphics
performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.
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. See page 1-25 and page 1-30 for
details.
