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 Intel 945GM northbridge chip comes integrated
with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 deliv-
ering exceptional 3D graphics performance. It supports analog CRT
and TV-out 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 audio jacks at the rear panel will
support 5.1-channel audio only when the
audio utility is configured to support this function. The mic-in at the
rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.
