The Intel
®
945G graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and the ICH7 I/O
controller hub provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The GMCH
features the Intel
®
Graphics Media Accelerator 950, an integrated graphics
engine for enhanced 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The GMCH provides the
interface for a processor in the 775-land package with 533/800/1066
MHz front side bus (FSB), dual channel DDR2 at speeds of up to 667 MHz,
and PCI Express x16 graphics card.
The Intel
®
ICH7 Southbridge represents the seventh generation I/O
controller hub that provides the interface for PCI Express and 8-channel
high definition audio.

DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of 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 1-15 to 1-17 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 specifications. See page 1-20 for details.

AI Overclocking
This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30 percent (depending
on the installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still
maintaining system stability. See section “2.4.1 JumperFree Configuration”
to set the BIOS items for overclocking.

Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH7 chipset. The SATA specification allows for
thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.
