Intel
®
EM64T
The motherboard supports Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 CPUs with the Intel
®
EM64T
(Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel
®
EM64T feature allows your
computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of
system memory for faster and more efficient computing. See the Appendix
for details.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology (EIST) intelligently manages
the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core
frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power
requirement.
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of 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 10.7 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 1-21 for details.
Serial ATA Technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces and the SIS 965L. The SATA specification allows for thinner,
more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and
up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-27 for details.
SIS Advanced HyperStreaming™ Architecture
The motherboard supports the SIS HyperStreaming™ technology
that smartly manages data streaming between the Northbridge and
Southbridge, memory, graphics interface, and other peripherals for efficient
and superior performance.
