high-bandwidth
DDRIII
memory
controller
and
a
highly-scalable Hyper Transport technology-based system bus up to HT 3.0. AMD
870 Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series deliver the outstanding system
performance and professional desktop platform solution.
The AMD 870 Series motherboards support new generation Socket AM3 processors
with an integrated DDRIII memory controller for Dual channel DDRIII 800/DDRIII
1066 / DDRIII 1333 Module up to 16GB, also providing DDRIII 128Mb GPU Memory.
The motherboard supports ULTRA ATA 133 connectors and Serial ATA3 with RAID 0,
1, 5, 10 and JBOD functions which support up to two IDE and six Serial ATA3 devices
to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee the data security without failure in
advanced computing performance.
The AMD 870 motherboards provide 10/100/1000 LAN function with Gigabit LAN chip
which supports 10/100/1000Mbps data transfer rate. And the embedded 8-channel
HD Audio CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro standards that offer you
with the home cinema quality and satisfying software compatibility.
The AMD 870 Series motherboards deliver outstanding value and performance for
gamers, with a true bandwidth design for Multi-GPU configurations. This high
bandwidth architecture in the AMD 870 chipset is with the flexibility for single or dual
card configurations. The AMD 870 chipset provides two PCI Express 2.0 x16@8 lane
slots to support simultaneous operation of graphics cards for astonishing performance
with brilliant and intense 3D graphics. When PE4 installed switch card, the PE1
becomes PCI-Express 2.0x16@ 16 lanes graphics slot. Two PCI Express x1 I/O slot
tackling the most demanding multimedia tasks nowadays. The AMD 870
motherboards also carry two 32-bit PCI slots and one mini-PCIE slot to guarantee the
