Chapter1 <Introduction>

1.1 <Product Overview>

P4BWA is the motherboard with last Intel desktop technology with industrial motherboard

form factor. Based on Intel® Q965 and ICH8DO, the board integrates a new Core 2 Quad processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory slot, Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 3000 technology, PCI express interface and Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop system.

Intel® LGA775 processor

The Intel® Core 2 Quad processor now comes with a new form factor with 7 75-pin PLGA package, for 533/800/1066MHz front-side-bus, 4MB L2 cache, and for 65nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.

Intel® Q965 and ICH8DO chipset

The Intel Q965 integrates DDR2 533/667/800MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator (GMA) 3000 technology for new graphic engine. It can provid e up to 256MB of frame buffer when you install over 512MB of system memory. The ICH8DO integrates with up to 10 USB2.0 interfaces (6 ports for P4BWA) I/O panel, and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.

Dual Intel 82573L Gigabit LAN

Dual Gigabit LAN with Intel 82573L, P4BWA comes with a powerful network function for the system that requires large transfer data of NAS system or Server platform.

PCI-Express interface

P4BWA integrates one x16 and x4 PCI-Express interface, it can provid e up to 8GB/s of bandwidth, which AGP 8x can only provide up to 2GB/s.

Multimedia interfaces

P4BWA also integrates 7.1 channel HD audio, Mini-PCI, PCI and ISA interface, for these

flexible function, system integrator can built more powerful systems for many applications.
