Product Description

The MB945 LGA 775 motherboard incorporates the Intel Q45 chipset

that utilizes a single LGA775 processor and supports

800/1066/1333MT/s (200/266/333 MHz) FSB.

The Q45 chipset is designed for use with the Core 2 processor family,

including a faster 1333 MHz system bus. The integrated GMCH

component provides the CPU interface, DDR3 interface, Hub Interface

and PCI Express graphics interface.

Four DDR3 memory sockets support DDR3 800/1066 SDRAM DIMM

modules of up to 8GB in capacity.

The board is designed with an Intel 82567LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY and

an optional Intel 82574LM PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet. Six Serial-II

ATA connectors offer3Gb/s data throughput speed - faster than the most

advanced parallel ATA.

Expansion includes four PCI slots, one PCI Express x1 and one PCI

Express x16 and one ISA slot. Other advanced features include twelve

USB 2.0 ports, IrDA interface, digital I/O, four serial ports, watchdog

timer and audio function. Dimensions of the board are 12” by 9.5” in an

ATX form factor.
