Introduction
Features
DDR3
DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. It offers
peak data transfer rate of up to 17 Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of DDR3
are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than
DDR2.
Graphics
The Intel northbridge chip comes integrated with the Intel Graphics Media Accel
-
erator X4500 delivering 3D, 2D and video capabilities. With support for Microsoft
DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1, Intel GMA X4500 delivers excellent video and 3D
graphics with outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver
the performance and compatibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business
applications.
Audio
The Realtek ALC262 audio codec provides 2-channel High Definition audio output.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.
With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the
standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
Gigabit LAN
The Realtek RTL8111DL PCI Express Ethernet Gigabit controller supports up to
1Gbps data transmission.
USB
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/
second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a
wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-
Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses
the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the
Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA inter-
rupt.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support
≥720mA.
