1.3 Special features 1.3.1 Product highlights Latest processor technology The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array (LGA) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package. The motherboard supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor. The motherboard also supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and is fully compatible with Intel® 04B and 04A processors. See page 2-7 for details. Intel® 915P The Intel® 915P chipset provides the interface for a processor in the 775-land package with 533/800MHz front side bus (FSB), dual channel DDR/DDR2 at speeds of up to 533MHz, and PCI Express x16-lane port for graphics card. The Intel® 915P MCH platform is compliant to the Direct Media Interface (DMI) and supports the sixth generation I/O Controller Hub (ICH6). DDR2 memory support The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates of 533/400 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. The motherboard also allows you to overclock DDR2-533 DIMMs up to 600 MHz while maintaining the CPU Front Side Bus at 800 MHz*.
