The motherboard comes with a 775-pin surface mount Land Grid Array
(LGA) socket designed for the Intel
® Pentium ® 4 processor in the 775-land
package. The motherboard supports the Intel ® Pentium ® 4 processor with
1066/800/533 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). The motherboard also supports
the Intel
® Hyper-Threading Technology and is fully compatible with Intel ®
05B/05A or 04B/04A processors. See page 2-7 for details.

The motherboard supports Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPUs with the Intel ® EM64T
(Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel ® EM64T feature allows your
computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of
system memory for faster and more efficient computing. See the Appendix
for details.

The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep ® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages
the CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core
frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power
requirement. See page 4-21 and the Appendix for details.

The Intel ® E7230 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel ® ICH7R (I/O
controller hub) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR2-533/667 memory, and
PCI Express interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller
hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3, USB 2.0, and SATA among others.

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of up to 667 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest
server applications. The dual-channel memory architecture doubles the
bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating
bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 10.7 GB/s.
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI or PCI-X specifications. See page 2-17 for details.
