Introduction of Intel P965 / G965 Express Chipset Motherboards
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The Intel P965 / G965 chipset motherboard series are based on the latest Intel P965 / G965
Express Chipset and Intel FW82801HB ICH Chipset technology which supports the innovative
65nm and 90nm Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D Processor 8 and 9 Series, Intel® Pentium® D
Processor, and Intel® Core 2 Duo® (Code Name: Conroe) Processor with Intel® Hyper-
Threading Technology. The motherboard is optimized to deliver innovative features and
professional desktop platform solution with the advantages of the new generation dual core
Intel® Core 2 Duo® Processor for those who demand the best experience of personal
computing. Through the high bandwidth of dual channel DDR2 800 / 667MHz system
memories which are expandable to 8.0GB and the next generation PCI Express interface for
the latest graphics cards from both NVIDIA & ATI. The Intel P965 / G965 chipset
motherboard series for Intel® Core 2 Duo® Processor are absolutely the ultimate solution for
game enthusiasts and applications, and it also meets the demanding usage of computing of
gaming, multimedia entertainment and business applications. Moreover, the Intel G965 express
chipset incorporates Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 of the following features: 3D
enhancements enable greater game compatibility with support for Hardware T&L, and
improved realism with support for Microsoft DirectX* 9.0c Shader Model 3.0, OpenGL 1.5,
and floating point operations.
The motherboards implement Intel P965 / G965 Express Chipset which supports Front Side
Bus 1066 / 800MHz of data transferring and offers with 200 / 166 MHz memory clock
frequency for Dual channel DDR2 800 / 667 MHz memory DIMMs to double the performance
of memory access. The motherboard is embedded with ICH8 chipset of providing four serial
ATA2 interface of 3.0Gb / s data transfer rate for four serial ATA devices. Moreover, the
motherboard provides also extra one ADSP Serial ATA converter board for Ultra ATA IDE
devices of 133 MB / s data transfer rate.
The motherboards offer two PCI-Express x16 graphics slots; one is of 4Gbyte/sec data transfer
rate at each relative direction which gets 3.5 times of bandwidth more than AGP8X and it's
up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 8Gbyte/sec at full speed to guarantee the ultimate GPU
computing performance; another is of 1Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction.
Two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals. Two PCI
Express x1 I/O slots offer 512Mbyte/sec concurrently bandwidth which is over 3.5 times than
32-bit PCI at 133Mbye/sec; the motherboards are designed of tackling the profuse multimedia
requirements nowadays.
The motherboards provide optional 10 / 100 / 1000 Ethernet compatible LAN function by
using the Realtek RTL8110SC Gigabit LAN NIC which supports 10M / 100M / 1000M data
transfer rate. And the embedded Azalia 8-channel Audio CODEC is fully compatible with
Sound Blaster Pro ® standards that offers you with the home cinema quality and satisfying
