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 satify the rising demand for more powerful prcessing capability. Intel® 945GC chipset The Intel® 945GC graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and the ICH7 I/O controller hub provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The GMCH features the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, an integrated graphics engine for enhanced 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The GMCH contains one 16-lane PCI Express port intended for an external PCI Express graphics card and provides the interface for a processor in the 775-land package with 1066/800/533 MHz front side bus (FSB), dual channel DDR2 at speeds of up to 667 MHz. The Intel® ICH7 Southbridge represents the seventh generation I/O controller hub that provides the interface for PCI Express and high definition audio. Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 The Intel Graphics engine has new capabilities that provide a significant increase in graphics performance. DirectX 9 hardware acceleration, 400MHz core clock, and up to 224M of video memory all together provide a full-value, high performance graphic solution to you. Through a dual-independent display technology, different content can be displayed on each monitor or stretched across both displays for more workspace. DDR2 memory support The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 667 / 533 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 8.5 GB/s.
