Introduction
Hyper-Threading Technology Functionality Requirements
The system board supports Intel processors with Hyper-Threading
Technology. Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology
for your computer system requires ALL of the following platforms.
Components:
® ®
• CPU - an Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology
®
• Chipset - an Intel chipset that supports HT Technology
• BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled
• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT
Technology
Please refer to Appendix A for information a bout enabling the
functionality of the Hyper-Threading Technology. For more information
on Hyper-Threading Technology, go to: www.intel.com/info/
hyperthreading.
CPU Overheat Protection
CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU's
temperature during system boot up. Once the CPU's temperature
exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system
will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added
to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing
environment.
DDR2
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer
rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is
twice the speed of the conventional DDR without increasing its
power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply
compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also
incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT)
as well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits
per clock cycle.
