Introduction of MCP65S and MCP61 Motherboard Series
1-1 Features of motherboard
The MCP65S and MCP61 Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series are based on the latest
MCP65S and 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. MCP65S and MCP61 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 Platform Processor Chipset integrated graphic
processor which adopts the innovative
90nm
process technology. 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. MCP65S and MCP61 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 support new generation Socket AM2 processors with an integrated DDRII
memory controller which provides with 266MHz / 333MHz/ 400MHz memory clock frequency
for Dual channel DDRII533/DDRII667/DDRII800 (AM2 Sempron processor only supports
up to DDRII667 memory) DDRII Module up to 4GB. And NVIDIA 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 (optional) devices to accelerate hard disk drives and
guarantee the data security without failure in advanced computing performance.
The motherboards provide 10/100/1000 (optional) PCI-E LAN which supports
10/100/1000Mbps data transfer rate.
The embedded 6-channel HD Audio CODEC is fully
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
®
standard.
The 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 three
32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O peripheral devices. One PCI
Express x1 I/O slots offer 512Mbyte/sec concurrently bandwidth which is over 3.5 times than
32-bit PCI at 133Mbye/sec.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 10 (optional) of the 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---

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 maybe 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
