Introduction
Features
DDR2
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers
bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the con-
ventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules
work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2
also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well
as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
PCI Express Gen 2
PCI Express Gen 2 is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the abil-
ity to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x16 PCI Express lane supports
transfer rate up to 5Gb/s.
Integrated Graphics
The northbridge chip comes integrated with the ATI Radeon TM HD3200 graphics
core delivering exceptional 3D graphics performance. It supports DVI interface.
DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to
maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics
cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig-
naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to
the display.
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video connector
interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. It delivers multi-channel
audio and uncompressed digital video signals for full HD 1080p visuals through a
single cable. Connect a LCD monitor or digital TV that has the HDMI port.
6CH High Definition Audio
The onboard Realtek ALC662 is a High Definition audio codec and the 3 audio
jacks at the rear I/O panel provides 5.1-channel audio output for advanced super
surround sound audio system.
