Introduction of AMD 740G Motherboard Series
1-1 Features of motherboard
The AMD 740G Series motherboards are based on the latest AMD 740G Chipset and
SB700 chipset which supports Socket AM2+
dual core and quad core AMD Phenom™
processors and 64-bit AMD Socket AM2+/AM2 multi-tasking Socket AM2 Athlon64 X2
processors
and
Sempron Processors. With an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth DDR2
memory controller and the highly-scalable Hyper Transport technology-based system bus
which is up to 1000 MHZ, AMD 740G Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series deliver
the outstanding system performance and professional desktop platform solution with the
advantages of 64-bit AMD Socket AM2+/AM2
AMD Phenom™ processors,
Athlon64 X2
processors
and the fully compatibility of the next generation operation system.
The AMD 740G Series motherboards support new generation Socket AM2 processors with an
integrated DDR2 memory controller which provides with
266MHz / 333MHz/ 400MHz
memory clock frequency for
Dual channel
DDR2 533 / DDR2 667 / DDR2 800/DDR2 1066
(Sempron processor of AM2 socket only supports up DDR2 667) DDR2 Module up to
4
GB.
The whole motherboard series are embedded with SB700 chipset that provides one ULTRA
ATA 133 connectors and Serial ATA2 with RAID 0, 1, 5 and RAID 10
functions which
support up to two IDE devices and six Serial ATA2 devices to accelerate hard disk drives and
guarantee the data security without failure in advanced computing performance.
The 740G series motherboards provide 10/100/1000 LAN functions with
Realtek RTL8102E
PCI-E Gigabit LAN which supports 10/100/1000 Mbps data transfer rate. And the embedded
Azalia 6-channel Audio CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
®
standards that
offer you with the home cinema quality and satisfying software compatibility.
The motherboards offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of 4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at
each relative direction which gets 3.5 times of bandwidth more than AGP 8X and it’s up to a
peak concurrent bandwidth of 8Gbyte/sec at full speed to guarantee the ultimate GPU
computing performance. Two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O of
peripherals; the motherboards are designed of tackling the profuse multimedia requirements
nowadays.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional ports
delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future
USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
Some special features---CPU Thermal Throttling /CPU Smart Fan// CPU Vcore X-shift /
OC-CON this motherboard are designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in
more flexible ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking may cause the fails in system
reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands
of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with
variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read
