1-16 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Dual-channel DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the
motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using DDR400/333
DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth
for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page
1-16 for details.
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 specications. See page 1-22 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH6. The SATA specication allows for thinner,
more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and
up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate.
Gigabit LAN support
This motherboard comes with a Gigabit LAN controller to meet your
growing networking needs. The controller provides faster data bandwidth
for your Internet, LAN, and le sharing requirements. See pages 1-26.
6-channel audio
The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1986A audio CODEC that provides
6-channel audio, audio jack-sensing and enumeration technology, and
S/PDIF out support. See page 1-26 for details.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specication, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is
backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 1-24, 1-27, 1-30 and 2-21
for details.
