1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The PR-DLSW motherboard supports the Intel
®
Xeon processor via dual
604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel
®
NetBurst™ micro-architecture that includes hyper-pipelined technology, a
rapid execution engine, a 400MHz system bus, and an execution trace cache
to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more
information.
DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the PR-
DLSW motherboard supports up to 12GB of system memory using
PC2100/1600 registered ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 200MHz
memory bus doubles the speed of the PC100 SDRAM to deliver the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 2-10.
Dual-channel Ultra-160 SCSI
The LSI
®
53C1010R 64-bit/66MHz PCI SCSI controller is onboard to
support dual-channel Ultra-160 SCSI connectors that provide high-speed
data transfer interfaces.
Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots
The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the
next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133MHz bus. The PCI-X
specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI buses
and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management cards.
AGP Pro 4X slot
The motherboard comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Pro 4X
slot for 3.3V/1.5V AGP cards. The slot supports 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus to
support high performance 3D graphics applications.
Onboard LAN
The motherboard comes with the Intel
®
82551QM Fast Ethernet controller
to fully support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet networking.
