Product highlights
AMD Dual-Core Architecture
The motherboard supports AMD dual-core processors containing two
physical CPU cores with discrete L cache structure for each core to meet
demands for more powerful computing.
Latest processor and 64-bit
computing technology
The AMD Athlon™ 64, AMD Opteron™, and AMD Sempron™ desktop
processors are based on AMD's 64-bit and 32-bit architecture, which
represents the landmark introduction of the industry's first x86-64 technology.
These processors provide a dramatic leap forward in compatibility,
performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership
and development. See page 1-8 for details.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Date Rate (DDR) memory technology,
the motherboard supports up to GB of system meomory using
DDR400/333/66 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 1-1 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces. 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 1-4 for details.
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet!™ Technology
The motherboard supports the AMD Cool 'n' Quiet!™ Technology that
dynamically and automatically changes the CPU speed, voltage and amount
of power depending on the task the CPU performs.
USB .0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) .0
specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
1 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB .0. USB .0
