Intel® LGA775 processor

The Intel® Pentium 4 processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin PLGA package, for 800MHz front-side-bus, 1MB L2 cache, and for 90nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.

Intel® 915GV and ICH6R chipset

The Intel® 915GV integrates DDR2 400/533MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 224MB of frame buffer when you install over 256MB of system memory. The ICH6R integrates with up to 8 USB2.0 interfaces (4 ports for FS-979), and serial ATA interface with RAID function.

Dual Display Supported

Based on Intel® 915G GMA900 technology, the board supports dual display function with CRT and DVI display interfaces. You can take this advantage for gaming, security monitoring or other demonstration applications.

Multimedia interfaces

FS-979also integrates AC97 audio, Compact Flash and DVI interface, for these flexible functions, system integrator can built more powerful systems for many field applications.

Max up to 3 Gigabit Intel® LAN

With up to 3 PCI-Express 1x with Intel Gigabit LAN controllers, the board comes with the powerful network function for Server or Workstation.
