Introduction
Features
The system board supports high performance DDR2
technology whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth
of 12.8 Gb/s and beyond. That is twice the speed of
the conventional DDR without increasing its power con-
sumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared
to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorpo-
rates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as
well as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per
clock cycle.
ATI’s CrossFire
TM
technology drives your PC to a new
peak of performance by combining multiple GPUs in a
single system. By connecting a Radeon CrossFire Edition
graphics card and a standard PCI Express graphics card,
the power of the dual GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) within the
system will accelerate your gaming performance and improve image
quality.
Based on the ATI CrossFire™ multi-GPU technology,
the ATI Hybr id CrossFireX™ takes gaming
experience to the next level. Hybrid CrossFireX™ is
a combination of the integrated graphics and a
discrete graphics card delivering high quality gaming images and
improved performance. Its multi-GPU performance capabilities
enhance gaming performance, productivity and platform power
efficiency to the mainstream PC.
PCI Express Gen 2 is a high bandwidth I/O infrastruc-
ture that possesses the ability to scale speeds by form-
ing multiple lanes. The x16 PCI Express lane supports
transfer rate up to 5Gb/s.
