Introduction

1-2 Mainboard Features

Socket 775

English

Socket 775-based motherboards are designed to provide performance enhancements for Intel Pentium® 4 processor-based systems, and it also expected to be the next-generation of platform innovations.

For more details about the Pentium www.Intel.com.

Chipset

The board is designed with Intel (945P+ICH7) chipset, featuring performance and stability with the most innovative technology and features.

For more details about the Intel Chipset, please visit the Intel Web site at com.

DDR2

DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers faster speed, higher data bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.

GLI mode (Graphics Link Interface)

GLI mode allows two PCI-Express VGA cards to be installed on the same mainboard to enjoy dual display experience. With this technology you can expand your desktop space across two monitors and have independent display on each monitor.

PCI-Express (PCI-E)

Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With smaller slot size and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.

Jumper Configurable PCI-Express

This mainboard is cleverly designed with a jumper configurable PCI-Express slot that lets user select the bandwidth required. This allows high speed PCI-E devices such as RAID controller or VGA cards to be supported on this mainboard.

Dual Channel

Supports dual channel of DDR2 memory to give you twice the memory bandwidth for greater system performance.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and status. This includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.

GbE LAN

The new Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows data transmission at 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps), which runs 10 times faster than conventional 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LANs.

Serial ATA II

S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to 300MB/sec. It supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices.

USB2.0

A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.

Brief Introduction

4 processor, please visit the Intel Web site at http://
