1.3.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

The motherboard comes with a 1207-pin surface mount Land Grid Array

(LGA) socket coded Socket F, designed for the next generation AMD

Opteron™ 200 and 800 series processors. The motherboard with the

new socket supports registered DDR2-667/533/400 memory, delivering

advanced performance and ensuring reliable data protection. See page 2-7

for details.

Scalable Link Interface (SLI™) technology

The NVIDIA

®

Scalable Link Interface (SLI™) technology allows two graphics

processing units (GPUs) in a single system. This technology takes

advantage of the PCI Express™ bus architecture and features intelligent

hardware and software solutions that allows multiple GPUs to work

together and achieve exceptional graphics performance.

DDR2-667 memory support

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. See page

2-13 for details.

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 2-18 for details.

Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports to

provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom

®

BCM5754 Gigabit LAN controllers use the PCI Express interface and could

achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See page 2-21 and

2-23 for details.
