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® Processor Extreme Edition and the Intel® Pentium® D processor in the 775-land package, with 1066/ 800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). See page 2-6 for details. Intel® E7230/Intel® ICH7R chipset The Intel® E7230 and the Intel® ICH7R I/O controller hub (ICH)provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The uniprocessor server chipset integrates EM64T support and four Serial ATA ports enabled through the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s RAID controller to ensure data security and enable powerful multi-task processing. Intel® EM64T The motherboard supports the Intel® Hyper-Threading technology and incorporates the Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T). The Intel® EM64T feature allows your system to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efficient computing. DDR2 memory support The motherboard supports DDR2 memory, which features data transfer rates of 667 MHz or 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 10.7 GB/s. See page 2-13 for details. Serial ATA II technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II technology through the Serial ATA II interfaces controlled by the Intel® ICH7R. The SATA II specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate.
