Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Quad / Core™2 Duo Processor Support

This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo processors in the LGA775 package. It is excellent for multi-tasking, multi-media and enthusiastic gamers with 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz FSB. The Intel® Core™ 2 series processor is one of the most powerful CPUs in the world. This motherboard also supports Intel® CPUs in the new 45nm manufacturing process.

Intel® Q45 Express Chipset

The Intel® Q45 Express Chipset is the latest chipset designed to support Intel® new 45nm CPU, 16GB of dual-channel DDR2 800/667 architecture, 1333/1066/800 FSB (Front Side Bus), PCI Express 1.0/2.0 graphics and multi-core CPU.

Intel® vPro™ Technology

The Intel® vProTechnology allows IT organizations to remotely manage corporate PCs, even when they are powered off or with non-functional operating systems. It features the Intel® Active Management Technology and offers IT organizations a lighter-weight form of virtualization to audit all Intel® AMT-based platforms in a network environment. PCs with Intel ® vProTechnology allow IT departments to remotely retrieve assets and hardware/software inventories, contain security threats, resolve system problems, and increase the uptime of desktops with lower maintenance costs. To enable the Intel® vProTechnology, first enable the related vProTechnology settings.

DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of 800/667 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 12.8 GB/s. Furthermore, this motherboard does not restrict the memory size across two channels. Users may install different memory size DIMMs into the two channels and enjoy dual-channel and single-channel functions at the same time. This new feature optimizes the use of available memory size. See page 1­13 for details.

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s technology

This motherboard supports the hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents to external devices. See page 1-31 for details.
