Latest processor technology
The P4B-MX motherboard supports the latest Intel Pentium 4 478/
Northwood Processor, also known as P4, via a 478-pin surface mount ZIF
socket. The Pentium 4 processor utilizes the advanced 0.18 micron
processor core in FC-PGA2 package for a 2.0GHz frequency, while the
Northwood processor uses the 0.13 micron processor core with 512KB L2
cache for up to a speedy 2.4GHz frequency. The P4 offers optimized
performance for audio, video, and Internet applications.
Onboard LAN
The motherboard incorporates the Intel 82562ET, a highly integrated
Platform LAN Connect (PLC) device that combines 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX capabilities. This controller also provides the LAN enabling
solution for the integrated networking connectivity in Intel I/O Controller
Hub 2 (ICH2) based platforms, allowing enhanced bus mastering
capabilities for high-speed data transfers over the PCI bus. The bus
mastering capabilities permit processing of high-level commands and
performing multiple operations, thereby offloading communications tasks
from the CPU.
