4 processors

The Intel Pentium 4 processor, Intel's most advanced, most powerful processor for
desktop PCs and entry-level workstations, is based on Intel NetBurst

TM

microarchitecture. The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance
across applications and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience
the performance. These applications include Internet audio and streaming video,
image processing, video content creation, speech, 3D, CAD, games, multimedia, and
multi-tasking user environments. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class
performance for consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users
as well as for entry-level workstation users.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor
family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function as
two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.

Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The MCH provides the interconnect between the AGP, DDR SDRAM and the
system logic. It integrates:
- Supports for single processor with a data transfer rate of 400/533/800MHz.
- Supports dual channel of 266/333/400 DDR SDRAM up to 4GB.
- 8X/4X 1.5V AGP interface (Only support 1.5V on AGP interface).
- Downstream hub link for access to the ICH5/R.
