AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology

The motherboard supports the AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology, which monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for a cool and quiet operating environment. See page 2-24 for details.

NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS210S GPU

and NVIDIA® nForce™ 430B MCP chipsets

The NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS210S graphics processing unit (GPU) Northbridge supports Microsoft® DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, dual VGA out (RGB and DVI-D), NVIDIA® PureVideo Technology with unprecedented integrated video quality, and PCI Express interface.

The NVIDIA® nForce™ 430B media and communications processor (MCP) Southbridge delivers NVIDIA® Gigabit and NVIDIA® MediaShield storage management technology allowing easy RAID configuration (RAID 0 and RAID 1) for Serial ATA 3Gb/s.

DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 800MHz/667 MHz/533 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. See pages 1-13 to 1-16 for details.

PCI Express™ interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features pointto­point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications. See page 1-20 for details.
