Asus P5LD2-VP Computer Hardware User Manual


 
ASUS P5LD2-FM/DH/VP 1-3
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of 667 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 10.7 GB/s.
PCI Express™ inter face
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 specications. See page 1-20 for details.
64-bit CPU suppor t
The motherboard supports 64-bit processors that provides
high-performance computing and faster memory access required for
memory and data intensive applications.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH7DH chipset. The SATA specication allows
for thinner, more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond
Super I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations
per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The ASIC
monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical
components. See pages 2-32 and 2-33 for details.
