The Intel
®
925XE Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the ICH6 I/O controller
hub provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The MCH supports
the Intel
®
Performance Accelerating Technology (PAT) that boosts system
performance. The MCH also provides the processor, dual-channel memory,
and PCI Express interfaces.
The Intel
®
ICH6 Southbridge represents the sixth generation I/O controller
hub that provides the interface for the storage, I/O, PCI Express, and
8-channel high definition audio interfaces.

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of 711 MHz (FSB 1066), 600 MHz (FSB 800), or 533 MHz (FSB 1066/
800) to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics,
multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2 architecture
doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance,
eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 8.5 GB/s. See pages
2-14 to 2-17 for details.
