Introduction of nForce4 Motherboards

1-1 Motherboard Features

Motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce4 single chip technology support the innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX and dual core multi-tasking Athlon64 X2 processors with HyperTransport Technology. The motherboard delivers leading- edge performance with both of the benefits from 64-bit multi-tasking dual core AMD processors and NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology. Utilizing the 64-bit multi-tasking socket 939 solution and the dual channel PC3200 DDR memory size expandable to 4.0GB, this motherboard series meets the demands of computing in the future.

These motherboards carry the advanced NVIDIA nForce4 single chip with 1000 MHz HyperTransport system bus of data transferring and provided with 133MHz / 166MHz / 200MHz memory clock frequency for DDR266/DDR333/ DDR400 DDR Module with dual channel capability. The NVIDIA nForce4 single chipset offers ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1 functions to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee data security without failure in advanced computing applications.

The motherboard provides Gigabit LAN by using the NVIDIA Giga-LAN controller which supports 10M/100M/1Gbps data transfer rate and full duplex or half duplex transportation. The embedded 8-channel AC’97 CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster ProTM standards and offers you home cinema quality and complete software compatibility.

Two 8X PCI-Express graphics slots deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which is fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI Technology. And, one PCI-Express x16 slot offers full function at speeds of up to 4Gbyte/sec.

The embedded USB controller has the capability of supporting up to 8 USB 2.0 ports, delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth each.

And the embedded Firewire controller allows connection and use of IEE1394 compliant devices.
