Intel® 65nm Dual-Core CPU support

This motherboard supports Intel® Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Celeron® dual-core processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores with dedicated L2 caches to meet demands for more powerful processing. Intel®’s 65nm process is the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. Intel® 65nm dual-core processors utilize the latest package technologies for a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance. This motherboard also supports Intel® next generation Core™2 Duo CPU. This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processors in LGA775 package. With new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1066/800 MHz FSB, Intel® Core™2 processor is one of the most powerful and enrgy-efficient CPUs in the world.

PCI Express™ 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.

Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology

The motherboard built with JMicron JMB363 SATA controller supports the next-generation 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. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents on external devices. See pages 1-27 and 1-30 for details.

Dual RAID solution

The onboard VIA VT8237A chipset allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configuration for two SATA connectors, and JMicron JMB363 SATA controller also supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD.
