processor series
• 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.
Memory
• Supports DDR3 1333/1066 DDR3 SDRAM with Dual-channel architec-
ture
• Accommodates two unbuffered DIMMs
• 2 x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets support up to 8 GB
This board supports CPU up to 95W TDP.
• One x16 PCI Express Gen2 ports each supporting up to 8 GB/s direc-
tion peak bandwidth
• Compliant with PCI Rev 2.3 interface at 33 MHz
• Integrated SATA 3.0 Gb/s Host Controller
• Ten USB 2.0 ports supported
