Introduction of MCP61P Motherboard Series
1-1 Features of motherboard
The MCP61P Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series are based on the latest MCP61
Platform Processor Chipset which supports the innovative and supercharged new generation
64-bit AMD Socket AM2 Athlon64 and Sempron processors with Hyper Transport
Technology up to 1000MHz. MCP61P Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series deliver the
outstanding system performance and professional desktop platform solution with the
advantages of new generation 64-bit AMD Socket AM2 Athlon64 & Sempron processors
with an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth DDRII memory controller and a
highly-scalable Hyper Transport technology-based system bus up to 1.0GHZ. By
implementing the new generation MCP61P Platform Processor Chipset integrated graphic
processor which adopts the innovative 90nm process technology, the integrated video
graphics array brings more compatibility, stability and reliability with the widest range of
games and applications to the desktop platform system. The motherboards support the
stunning video playback in all formats and with superb picture clarity that brings the best
visual experience and ultra-realistic effects to the users. MCP61P Platform Processor Chipset
motherboard series are the real cost-effective and powerful integrated multimedia platform
solutions and meet the demanding usage of computing now and future.
The motherboards incorporate the integrated NVIDIA Graphics Core which is fully
compatible with Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0C and Shader Model 3.0. And it also supports 1000
MHz Hyper Transport speed of data transfer rate, the motherboards support new generation
Socket AM2 processors with an integrated DDRII memory controller which provide 333MHz/
400MHzmemory clock frequency for Dual channel DDRII667/DDRII800 DDRII Module up
to 4GB. And it also accommodates ULTRA ATA 133 connectors and Serial ATA2 with
RAID 0, 1, 5, 0+1
functions which support up to one IDE and four Serial ATA2 devices to
accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee the data security without failure in advanced
computing performance.
The motherboards provide 10/100 LAN function with Realtek
RTL8103EL
10/100 PCI
-
E
LAN which supports 10/100Mbps data transfer rate.
The embedded 6-channel HD Audio
CODEC is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
®
standard.
MCP61P motherboard series offer one 16-LANE PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of 4Gbyte/sec
data transfer rate at each relative direction which get 3.5 times of bandwidth more than
AGP8X and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 8Gbyte/sec at full speed to guarantee
the performance and compatibility of GPU graphics add-in cards. The whole series carry two
32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O peripheral devices.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 10 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.
