of dual-channel DDR2 800/677/533 architecture, 1066/800/533 FSB (Front Side
Bus), PCI Express x16 graphics and multi-core CPU. It especially includes Intel®
Fast Memory Access technology that signicantly optimizes the use of available
memory bandwidth and reduces the latency of the memory accesses.
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates
of 800/667/533 MHz 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 12.8 GB/s.
Furthermore, this motherboard does not restrict the memory size across two
channels. Users may install different memory size DIMMs into the two channels
and enjoy dual-channel and single-channel functions at the same time. This new
feature optimizes the use of available memory size. See page 2-13 for details.
