Intel® EM64T The motherboard supports Intel® processors with the Intel® EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efficient computing. DDR3 memory support The Z9PH-D16, Z9PH-D16/FDR supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1600/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of server and workstation applications. The 4-channel DDR3 architecture boosts system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidth of up to 52GB/s. This voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3 which makes it an ideal memory solution. Also, the motherboard can support LRDIMM (Load reduced DIMM) which uses a specially designed buffer to reduce the data load to a single load and can increase overall server system memory capacity. PCIe 3.0 The motherboard supports the latest PCIe 3.0 device, which doubles the delivered bandwidth of PCIe 2.0. This enhances system performance while still providing backward compatibility to PCIe 2.0. Intel® 82574L LAN solution The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement. Serial ATA II technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA interface and Intel® C602 chipset. The Serial ATA II specification provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements. Serial ATA III technology The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III technology through the Serial ATA interface and Intel® C602 chipset, delivering up to 6Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems. ASUS Z9PH-D16, Z9PH-D16/FDR 1-5
