ries the following features:
Processor
The G31 Northbridge (NB) and ICH7 Southbridge (SB) chipsets are based on an
innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
Chipset
ICH7 (SB)
• Supports DDR2 800/667 DDR SDRAM with Dual-channel architecture
• Accommodates two unbuffered DIMMs
• Up to 2 GB per DIMM with maximum memory size up to 4 GB
Memory
G31 (NB)
“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.
• Supports 36-bit host bus addressing, allowing the CPU
to access the entire 64 GB of the memory address
space
• 2 GB/s point-to-point Direct Media Interface (DMI) to
ICH7 (1 GB/s each direction)
• Supports 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR2 DRAM technologies
for x8 and x16 devices
• One, 16-lane PCI Express port intended for Graphics
Attach, compatible to the PCI Express* Base Specifi-
cation revision 1.1
Onboard LAN
The onboard LAN controller provides either of the following features:
• Enhanced DMA Controller, interrupt controller, and timer
functions
• Compliant with PCI Express Base Specification, Revi-
sion 1.1
• Compliant with PCI 2.3 specification
• Integrated SATA 3.0 Gb/s Host Controller
• Integrated USB 2.0 Host Controller supporting up to
