The motherboard supports the Intel
®
Hyper-Threading technology and
incorporates the Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T). The Intel
®
EM64T feature allows your system to run on 64-bit operating systems and
access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efficient
computing.

DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory, which features data transfer
rates of 667 MHz or 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 10.7 GB/s. See page 2-13 for details.

Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial
ATA II interfaces controlled by the Intel
®
ICH7R. The SATA II specification
allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-27 for
details.
