Introduction
1-2 Mainboard Features
Brief Introduction
Intel® Pentium® 4 processors
The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance across applications and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the performance. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class performance for consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users as well as for entry-level workstation users.
Intel Dual-Core processor provides two execution cores in one physical processor allowing the platform to do more in less time while enjoying smooth interaction with your PC.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function as two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.

Chipset
This board is designed with either Intel® 945P (Lakeport-P) or Intel® 945PL (Lakeport-PL) chipset. The Intel® 945P/945PL chipset consists of the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7).
DDR2
DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers faster speed, higher data bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.
PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With smaller slot size and 250MB/sec(PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.
Jumper Configurable PCI-Express
This mainboard is cleverly designed with a jumper configurable PCI-Express slot that lets user select the bandwidth required. This allows high speed PCI-E devices such as RAID controller or VGA cards to be supported on this mainboard.
