Introduction of nForce4 Motherboards
1-1 Motherboard Features
Motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce4 single chip technology support the
innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX and dual core multi-tasking Athlon64 X2
processors with HyperTransport Technology. The motherboard delivers leading-
edge performance with both of the benefits from 64-bit multi-tasking dual core
AMD processors and NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology.
Utilizing the 64-bit multi-tasking socket 939 solution and the dual channel
PC3200 DDR memory size expandable to 4.0GB, this motherboard series meets
the demands of computing in the future.
These motherboards carry the advanced NVIDIA nForce4 single chip with
1000 MHz HyperTransport system bus of data transferring and provided with
133MHz / 166MHz / 200MHz memory clock frequency for DDR266/DDR333/
DDR400 DDR Module with dual channel capability. The NVIDIA nForce4 single
chipset offers ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1 functions to
accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee data security without failure in
advanced computing applications.
The motherboard provides Gigabit LAN by using the NVIDIA Giga-LAN
controller which supports 10M/100M/1Gbps data transfer rate and full duplex or
half duplex transportation. The embedded 8-channel AC’97 CODEC is fully
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
TM
standards and offers you home cinema
quality and complete software compatibility.
Two 8X PCI-Express graphics slots deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate
at each relative direction which is fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI
Technology. And, one PCI-Express x16 slot offers full function at speeds of up
to 4Gbyte/sec.
The embedded USB controller has the capability of supporting up to 8 USB 2.0
ports, delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth each.
And the embedded Firewire controller allows connection and use of IEE1394
compliant devices.
