1.3 Special features 1.3.1 Product highlights Latest processor technology The PP-DLW motherboard supports the Intel® Xeon processor via dual 604-pin surface mount ZIF sockets. The processor features the Intel® NetBurst™ micro-architecture that includes Hyper-Threading technology, a rapid execution engine, a 533/400MHz system bus, and an execution trace cache to offer a significant increase in performance. See page 2-4 for more information. DDR memory support Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the PP-DLW motherboard supports up to 8GB of system memory using PC2100/1600 unbuffered/registered ECC/non-ECC DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 266MHz memory bus doubles the speed of the PC133 SDRAM to deliver the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. Advanced 64-bit PCI-X slots The 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slots onboard maximizes I/O bandwidth for the next generation 64-bit PCI-X cards that support 133/100MHz bus. The PCI-X specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI buses and provides options for intelligent I/O and server management cards. AGP Pro 8x/4X slot The motherboard supports the latest graphic architecture, the AGP Pro/8X interface (a.k.a. AGP 3.0), offering 2.1GB/s bandwidth which is twice that of its predecessor AGP 4X. Onboard LAN The motherboard comes with the Intel® 82540EM Gigabit LAN controller to fully support 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant), and provide Physical Layer Transceiver solution for high performance network applications. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
