1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Intel ® Core™2 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel ® Core™2 processors in LGA775 package. With new
Intel ® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1600(OC) MHz FSB, Intel ® Core™2 processor is
one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.
Intel ® G31 chipset
The Intel ® G31 Express Chipset boosts your gaming and multimedia experience with the
integrated graphics engine Intel ® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100. It supports 1333MHz
FSB (front-side-bus), and delivers breakthrough advances in 3D and 2D graphics; and video
capabilities. This integrated chipset is able to meet the changing display requirements of
visually rich applications and features the Intel® Clear Video Technology - which trailblazes new
standards in high-definition video, crisp imaging, and accurate color control.
Dual-Channel DDR2 1066 (OC)
Dual-channel DDR2 technology doubles the bandwidth of your system memory and hence boost
the system performance to out perform any memory existing solutions in the market.
Serial ATA 3 Gb/s technology
Serial ATA3.0Gb/s is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable
performance foroday and tomorrow. With up to 300MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA II is
faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility.
PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With
a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs
much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 and x4 also
outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth. The high speed PCI Express
interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed
RAID systems.
FSB 1600 support (O.C.)
ASUS’s exclusive overclocking design now unleashes the ultimate potential of the Intel ® Core
™2 processor. With the new Intel 45nm micro-architecture technology and FSB 1600 (O.C.) /
1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz, this motherboard allows you to enjoy the latest technology supported
by one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
