64-bit CPU support

64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.

Dual-Core CPU

Enjoy the extraordinary CPU power from the latest dual-core CPU. The advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with individually dedicated L2 cache to satisfy the rising demand for more powerful processing capability.

AGP 8X support

The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.

Serial ATA II technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the VIA VT8251 chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-28 for details.

Onboard RAID solution

The onboard VIA VT8251 chipset allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD configuration for four SATA connectors. Refer to page 3-7~3-12 for details.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 1-24, 1-26, 1-31 for details.
