Intel
®
65 nanaometer process technology support
The motherboard supports Intel
®
processors built on the 65 nanaometer (nm)
process technology with copper interconnect. Intel’s 65 nm process is the most
advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough performance,
enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. The Intel
®
65 nm
Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for a thinner, lighter design
without compromising performance. See page 1-9 for details.
Integrated Intel
®
Extreme Graphics 2
The Intel
®
865G chipset on the motherboard integrates the Intel
®
Extreme
Graphics 2 architecture to deliver realistic 3D/2D graphics with sharp images,
fast rendering, smooth motion, and clearly defined details. This unique architecture
balances the memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal performance
with a maximum UMA share memory size of 96MB, a maximum resolution of 2048 x
1536(@75Hz) and a maximum refresh rate of 85Hz(@1800 x 1440). See page
1-27 for details.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard
supports up to 4GB of system memory using DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The
ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D
graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See 1-16 to 1-19 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH5 chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner,
more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-29 for details.
AI Audio
The motherboard comes with the Realtek
®
ALC655 audio CODEC that lets you
enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. It
also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals into the audio ports and identifies
any incompatible devices. See page 1-27 for details.
