MXGE Series CyberResearch® Motherboards

1.1 Overview

Figure 1-1: MXGE Motherboard

The MXGE ATX form factor motherboard is a LGA775 Intel® Core™2 Duo, Pentium® 4 or
Celeron® D platform with a 533 MHz, 800 MHz or 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB). Up to

4.0 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and up to four SATA II hard disk drives (HDD) are supported.
High-performance PCI Express (PCIe) Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity is integrated
into the system. Four or five PCI slots, two or one ISA slots and eight USB 2.0 connectors
(four external and four internal) provide flexible expansion options. Added system security
is provided with Trusted Platform Module (TPM v1.2) support. An external VGA connector
and three audio-jacks facilitate multi-media applications.
