1.3 Special features 1.3.1 Product highlights Latest processor technology The P4PE motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor via a 478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium 4 processor with 512KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process includes a 533/400 MHz system bus and features the new Hyper-Threading technology and FMB2 power design that allow up to 3.0+ GHz core frequencies for up to 4.2GB/s data transfer rates. When available, CPUs supporting the Intel® Hyper-Threading technology for up to 3.06GHz and faster frequencies are also supported on this motherboard. See page 2-4 for more information. DDR memory support Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the P4PE motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using PC2700/ PC2100/PC1600 DDR DIMMs. The ultra-fast 333MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 2-10. Serial ATA solution, RAID 0/1 support (on SATA models only) The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA) specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface. The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. With the Promise® PDC20376 controller onboard and an extra Parallel ATA133 IDE interface, the motherboard supports RAID 0/RAID 1 configuration using Ultra ATA/133 drive and SATA drives. See pages 2-20 and 2-21. Onboard LAN solution (on LAN models only) Gigabit LAN models include the BroadCom® BCM5702 Gigabit LAN chipset to provide a single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The BCM5702 integrates 32-bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution to support high performance network applications. Fast Ethernet models have the BroadCom® BCM4401 chipset (instead of the BCM5702) onboard to support 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX networking protocol. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
