•Intel Processor Support: Intel Socket 478 Pentium® 4 / Northwood™ processors, 1.4 to 2.0 GHz and higher.

•Intel 850 Chipset: Features the Intel® 850 chipset (82850 Memory Controller Hub, I/O Controller and Firmware Hub) with support for AGP 4X Mode, (1.5 volt only); 400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); and dual channel RDRAM.

•Intel ICH2: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (82801 ICH2) features support for UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/ sec; and two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports.

•Low Pin Count (LPC) Super Multi-I/O:Provides two high-speed UART ompatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections.
