Introduction of X58 Express and ICH10R chipset based Motherboards
1-1 Features of Motherboard
The X58 Express and ICH10R chipset based motherboard series are based on Intel X58
Express chipset and ICH10R chipsets technology which supports the innovative Intel®
Core™ i7-965 processor Extreme Edition, Intel® Core™ i7-940 processors and Intel®
Core™ i7-920 processors with QPI up to 6.4 GT/s.
The X58 Express and ICH10R chipset Based motherboard series deliver the revolutionary
levels of performance enabling vivid, high-definition experiences and multi-tasking
responsiveness from state-of-the-art Intel quad-core technologies,
AMD CrossFire technology
through the high bandwidth of dual channel DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz system memories
which are expandable to 24 GB capacity and the new generation of PCI Express interface for
the latest graphics cards from both AMD and nVidea. The X58 Express and ICH10R chipset
motherboard series are absolutely the ultimate solution for game enthusiasts and applications,
and it also meets the demanding usage of computing of gaming, multimedia entertainment
and business applications.
The Intel X58 Express and ICH10R chipset motherboard series are embedded with ICH10R
chipset of providing six serial ATA2 interfaces of 3.0 Gb / s data transfer rate for six serial
ATA devices which supports RAID 0, 1,5,10 functions. More over, the motherboard provides
also extra 1 Ultra ATA interface for two IDE devices of 133 MB / s data transfer rate and two
external serial ATA interface of 3.0 Gb / s data transfer rate for two external serial ATA hard
disk devices.
The X58 Express and ICH10R chipset Based motherboard provides Gigabit LAN function by
using two Realtek RTL8111C PCI Gigabit LAN chips which support 10M / 100M / 1Gbps
data transfer rate. Embedded 8-channel ALC888 HD CODEC is fully compatible with Sound
Blaster Pro
®
standards that offer you with the home cinema quality and absolutely software
compatibility.
