Introduction of Motherboards
1-1 Features of motherboard
Odin K8F8 /K8F8P /K8F8G motherboard is based on NVIDIA nForce4 SLI single chip
technology which supports the innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX with HyperTransport
Technology. These motherboards series deliver the leading-edge performance with NVIDIA
Scalable Link Interface Technology with the latest Dual PCI Express for NVIDIA Dual
Graphic Processing Unit ready platform. Utilize the 64-bit socket 754 solution and PC3200
DDR memory size expandable to 3.0GB, These motherboards series meet the demanding usage
of computing in the future.
Odin K8F8 /K8F8P /K8F8G motherboards carry the advanced dual GPU supported NVIDIA
nForce4 SLI single chip with 1000 MHz HyperTransport system bus of data transferring and
provided with 133MHz / 166MHz / 200MHz memory clock frequency for
DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 DDR Module. NVIDIA nForce4 single chipset offers ULTRA
ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1 functions to accelerate hard disk drives and
guarantee the data security without failed in advanced computing performance.
Odin K8F8G motherboard provides Marvell 88E1111 controller which supports 10M / 100M
/ 1Gbps data transfer rate for software bandwidth Load-balance and full duplex, half duplex
packages transportation. Embedded 8-channel AC’97 CODEC is fully compatible with Sound
Blaster Pro
®
standards that offers you with the home cinema quality and absolutely software
compatibility.
Colorful and Intuitional SLI placement design offers three PCI-Express x16 graphics slots (Two
symmetrical PCI-Express x16 graphics slots in light green deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data
transfer rate at each relative direction which is fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI
Technology. One PCI-Express x16 graphics slot offers 4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each
relative direction which get 3.5 times of bandwidth more than AGP8X and up to 8Gbyte/sec
concurrent bandwidth at full speed.) to guarantee the fully operational multi-GPUs graphics
power and avoid the possible SLI hardware installation error. One PCI Express x1 I/O slot
offers 512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbye/sec,
tackling the most demanding multimedia tasks nowadays.
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.
