Introducing the Motherboard
Feature
• Accommodates Intel P4/Celeron processors
• Supports a system bus (FSB) of 800/533MHz
• Supports “Hyper-Threading” technology CPU
“Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating system into thinking it’s hooked
up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both on separate
“logical” processors within the same physical processor.
The 915G-M5 uses a LGA775 type of Pentium 4 that carries the following features:
Processor
Chipset
Memory
• Accommodates four unbuffered DIMMs
• Up to 1 GB per DIMM with maximum memory size up to 4 GB
Graphics
• Supports core frequency of 333 MHz
• Supports 3D Setup, Render Engine, and 3D Graphics Enhancements
• Supports High Quality Texture Engine
• Video DVD/PC-VCR
This motherboard may support either of the following LAN chipset:
Onboard LAN (Optional)
The 915G Northbridge (NB) and ICH6 Southbridge (SB) chipset are based on an inno-
vative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
• Supports 32-bit host bus addressing, allowing the CPU to
access the entire 4 GB of the memory address space.
• Has a 12-deep In-Order Queue to support up to twelve
outstanding piplined address requests on the host bus.
• Supports 256-Mb, 512-Mb and 1-Gb DDR/DDR2 technolo-
gies for x8 and x16 devices
• Provides an integrated graphics device delivering cost com-
petitive 3D, 2D and video capabilities.
• Enhanced DMA Controller, interrupt controller, and timer func-
tions
• Compliant with PCI 2.3 specificaiton
• Compliant with Serial ATA 1.0a specification
• Integrated USB 2.0 Host Controller supporting up to eight
USB 2.0 ports
• Integrated LAN controller
• Integrated IDE controller supports Ultra ATA100/66/33
915G chipset can only support 256-Mb, 512-Mb and 1-Gb DDR tech-
nologies for x8 and x16 device, NOT support 128-Mb DDR technology.
That is, 256 MB Double Side Memory Module & 128 MB Single Side
Memory Module are NOT support.
915G (NB)
ICH6 (SB)
