Intel® 65nanometer process technology support The motherboard supports Intel® processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm) process technology with copper interconnect. Intelʼs 65 nm process is the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough performance, enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. The Intel® 65 nm Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for a thinner, lighter design without compromising performance. Dual-channel DDR400 memory support Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See 1-15 to 1-18 for details. Serial ATA technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel® ICH5 chipset. 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 1-27 for details. 6-channel audio support The motherboard comes with the ADI AD1888JCPZ high-definition audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-24 and page 1-25 for details. AGP 8X support The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specification enhances graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. 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 1-25 and page 1-30 for details. ASUS P5PE-VM 1-
