Intel¨ 915PL and Intel¨ ICH6 chipset 
The Intel¨ 915PL chipset provides the interface for a processor in the
478-pin package with 800/533/400MHz front side bus (FSB), dual channel DDR at speeds of up to 400 MHz, and PCI Express x16 graphics card interface. The ICH6 Southbridge provides integrated support for four Serial ATA ports, PCI Express slots, and eight high-speed USB 2.0 ports.
Dual-channel DDR memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard supports up to 2 GB of system memory using DDR400/333 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 1-15 for details.
PCI Expressª interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point 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.
Serial ATA technology 
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel¨ ICH6. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-28 for details.
8-channel high definition audio
The motherboard supports 8-channel High Definition Audio through the onboard ALC880 CODEC with 24-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. It also provides a Jack-Sensing function, S/PDIF out support, interrupt capability and includes the Realtek¨ proprietary UAJ¨ (Universal Audio Jack) technology. See pages 1-24 and 1-25 for details.
S/PDIF digital sound ready 
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 1-25 for details.
