Chapter 1 Introduction
This motherboard has an LGA775 socket for latest Intel Pentium 4/Celeron D/
Pentium D processors with Hyper-Threading Technology and Front-Side Bus
(FSB) speeds up to 800/533/400 MHz. Hyper-Threading Technology, designed to
take advantage of the multitasking features in Windows XP, gives you the power to
do more things at once.
This motherboard integrates the Intel 865G Northbridge along with Intel I/O
Controller Hub 5 (ICH5) that supports the Serial ATA interface for high-perfor-
mance and mainstream desktop PCs; the built-in USB 2.0 providing higher band-
width, implementing Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 and is
compliant with UHCI 1.1 and EHCI 1.0.
It supports 6-channel AC’97 Audio Codec and provides two IDE Ultra DMA 100/
66/33 channel. It has one AGP 8X slot, one CNR and two 32-bit PCI slots. There
is a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, one VGA
port, one serial port, one parallel port, one LAN port (optional), three audio jacks
for micropone, line-in and line-out, and four back-panel USB 2.0 ports. In addition,
onboard USB headers provide extra ports by connecting the extended USB module
to the motherboard.
It is a Micro ATX motherboard and has power connectors for an ATX power
supply.
Key Features
The key features of this motherboard include:
LGA775 Socket Processor Support
• Supports the latest Intel Pentium 4/Celeron D/Pentium D Series pro-
cessors with Hyper-Threading Technology
• Supports up to 800/533/400 MHz Front-Side Bus
.
Chipset
There are Intel 865G Northbridge and Intel I/O Controller Hub 5 (ICH5) in the
chipsets in accordance with an innovative and scalable architecture with proven
reliability and performance.
• Host Interface Support
− One Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron
process / Pentium 4 processor on 90 nm process
• Hyper-Threading Technology
Note: Hyper-Threading technology enables the operating system into thinking
it’s hooked up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel,
both on separate ‘logical’ processors within the same physical processor
