Intel 65 nanaometer process technology support
®
The motherboard supports Intel processors built on the 65 nanaometer (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. See page 1-9 for details.
Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
®
The Intel 865G chipset on the motherboard integrates the Intel Extreme
® ®
Graphics 2 architecture to deliver realistic 3D/2D graphics with sharp images,
fast rendering, smooth motion, and clearly defined details. This unique architecture
balances the memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal performance
with a maximum UMA share memory size of 96MB, a maximum resolution of 2048 x
1536(@75Hz) and a maximum refresh rate of 85Hz(@1800 x 1440). See page
1-27 for details.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard
supports up to 4GB 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 1-16 to 1-19 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 1-29 for details.
AI Audio
The motherboard comes with the Realtek ALC655 audio CODEC that lets you
®
enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. It
also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals into the audio ports and identifies
any incompatible devices. See page 1-27 for details.
