DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 667 MHz or 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 10.7 GB/s. See pages 2-13 to 2-16 for details.

NVIDIA¨ QuickSync

The NVIDIA¨ nForce4¨ SLIª - Intel¨ Edition memory controller features the QuickSynch synchronization technology that transfers memory requests and data between the Front Side Bus (FSB) and memory clock domains in the shortest amount of time. QuickSync ensures that the memory controller has the shortest latency between receiving/placing CPU requests, and between receiving the data from memory and sending it to the CPU for all FSB and memory speeds.

NVIDIA¨ DASP 3.0

The NVIDIA¨ Dynamic Adaptive Speculative Preprocessor (DASP) 3.0 comes with sophisticated data pre-fetch algorithms in preprocessors that are tasked to track data threads and pre-fetch appropriate data for improved performance.

Built-in NVFirewallª and NVActiveArmorª

The NVIDIA¨ Firewallª (NVFirewallª) is an easy-to-use high-performance desktop firewall application that protects your system from intruders. Integrated into the NVIDIA¨ nForce4¨ SLIª chipset, it provides advanced anti-computer-hacking technologies, remote management capabilities, and a user-friendly setup wizard that improves overall system security.

Enhancing your network security is the NVIDIA¨ ActiveArmorª

(NV ActiveArmorª) engine that provides advanced data packet inspection. This innovative technology ensures that only safe data packets are passed on the network. It boosts overall system performance by offloading the CPU from the rigorous task of filtering data packets. See page 5-18 for details.
