Intel

65nm Dual-Core CPU support

This motherboard supports Intel

Pentium

D/Pentium

4/Celeron

D dual-core

processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm) process technology with copper

interconnect. Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores with dedicated

L2 caches to meet demands for more powerful processing. Intel

’s 65nm process

is the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough

performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. Intel

65nm dual-core processors utilize the latest package technologies for a thinner,

lighter design without compromising performance. This motherboard also

supports Intel

next generation Core™2 Duo CPU. This motherboard supports

the latest Intel

Core™2 processors in LGA775 package. With new Intel

Core™

microarchitecture technology and 1066/800 MHz FSB, Intel

Core™2 processor is

one of the most powerful and enrgy-efcient CPUs in the world.

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology

that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial

interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data

in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI

specications.

Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology and SATA-On-The-Go

The motherboard built with JMicron JMB363 SATA controller supports the

next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage

specication, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for

high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back

I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and

other entertainment contents on external devices. See pages 1-28 and 1-31 for

details.

Dual RAID solution

The onboard VIA VT8237A chipset allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD

conguration for two SATA connectors, and JMicron JMB363 SATA controller also

supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD.
