The Watchdog Timer function allows your
application to regularly “clear” the system at
the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will
reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to
operate.
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology
whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3
GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-
tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2
SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory
voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations
such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-
fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
The graphics flexibility of the built-in Intel GMA3100
delivers exceptional 3D graphics performance. It sup-
ports analog CRT and DVI-I interfaces.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video inter-
face technology made to maximize the quality of flat
panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. Data is
transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential
Signaling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics
subsystem to the display.
The onboard Realtek ALC885 is a High
Definition audio codec and the 6 audio
jacks at the rear I/O panel provides 8-
channel audio output for advanced 7.1-channel super surround
sound audio system. ALC885 also suppor ts S/PDIF output, allowing
digital connections with DVD systems or other audio/video
multimedia.
