Introduction of nForce4 Motherboards
1-1 Motherboard
Features
Motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce4 single chip technology support the
innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX and dual core multi-tasking Athlon64 X2
processors with HyperTransport Technology. The SLI version of the motherboard
series delivers leading-edge performance with both of the benefits from 64-bit
multi-tasking dual core AMD processors and NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface
(SLI) Technology with the latest Dual PCI-Express for NVIDIA Dual Graphic
Processing Unit ready platform. Utilizing the 64-bit multi-tasking socket 939
solution and the dual channel PC3200 DDR memory size expandable to 4.0GB,
this motherboard series meets the demands of computing in the future.
These motherboards carry the advanced NVIDIA nForce4 single chip with
1000 MHz HyperTransport system bus of data transferring and provided with
133MHz / 166MHz / 200MHz memory clock frequency for DDR266/DDR333/
DDR400 DDR Module with dual channel capability. The NVIDIA nForce4 single
chipset offers ULTRA
ATA 133
and
Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1
functions to
accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee data security without failure in
advanced computing applications.
The motherboard provides Gigabit LAN by using the NVIDIA Giga-LAN
controller which supports 10M/100M/1Gbps data transfer rate and full duplex or
half duplex transportation. The embedded 8-channel AC’97 CODEC is fully
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
TM
standards and offers you home cinema
quality and complete software compatibility.
Colorful and intuitional placement design of three PCI-Express graphics slots (Two
symmetrical PCI-Express x16 [x8 effective speed] graphics slots in yellow
deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which is
fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI Technology [this applies to the SLI
version of the motherboard only]). One PCI-Express x16 graphics slot offers
4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 3.5 times
more bandwidth than AGP 8X and up to 8Gbyte/sec concurrent bandwidth at
full speed to guarantee full operational multi-GPU graphics power and avoid
any possible SLI hardware installation error (SLI version only). One PCI-
Express x1 I/O slot offers 512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more
bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbyte/sec, tackling the most demanding multimedia
tasks.
