Introduction of 875PMAX motherboard
Thank you for purchasing 875PMAX which
provides extremely
performance and meets future specification demand.
This chapter describes the features of the 875PMAX motherboard. It includes
brief explanations of the special attributes of the motherboard and the new
technology it supports.
1-1 Features of Motherboard
875PMAX Highlights
The Latest processor technology
The motherboard supports the latest Intel
Pentium
4 Processor via a
478-pin surface mount ZIF socket. The Pentium 4 processor with 512KB L2
cache includes a 800/533/400 MHz system bus and features the Intel
Hyper-Threading Technology and new power design that allow up to 3.20GHz
core frequencies. 875PMAX motherboard will also support the next generation
Intel Prescott CPU when available.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the motherboard
provides a solution that doubles the system memory bandwidth to boost system
performance. The motherboard supports up to 4GB of system memory by using
PC3200/2700/2100 non-ECC/ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to 6.4GB/s data
transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
Intel Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT)
Incorporating the Intel PAT, which is a turbo mode enabled in the Intel
875P to work with DDR 400 memory and boost system performance, the
motherboard delivers a new level of performance to beat.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard bundles the new Serial ATA technology through the
SATA interfaces onboard. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more
flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150
MB/s data transfer rate.
