The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array

(LGA) socket designed for the Intel

Pentium

4 processor in the 775-land

package. The motherboard supports the Intel

Pentium

4 processor with

800/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The motherboard also supports the

Intel

Hyper-Threading technology, is fully compatible with Intel

04B and

04A processors, and incorporates the Extended Memory 64-bit Technology

(EM64T). The EM64T enables support for 64-bit operating system, such

as 64-bit Windows

and Linux. See page 2-6 for details.

The Intel

E7221Memory Controller Hub (MCH), Intel

ICH6R I/O controller

hub (ICH), and the Intel

6702 PXH PCI/PCI-X bridge provide the vital

interfaces for the motherboard.

The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR2 memory, and x8 PCI

Express interfaces. The integrated graphics engine supports standard SVGA

display. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller hub that

provides bridging functions for the PCI Express and PCI interface, and

supports the PCI Express hot-plug controller.

Native DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) supportNative DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) support

Native DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) support

This motherboard offers native DDR2-533 (PC2-4300) memory support to

ensure superior system performance. With current processors supporting

800 MHz FSB, DDR2-533 provides the fastest solution for eliminating

system bottlenecks when running system-intensive applications.

Serial ATA technology Serial ATA technology

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA

interfaces controlled by the Intel

ICH6R. 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 2-28 for

details.
