1-2 Mainboard Features

Brief Introduction

Intel®Pentium®4 processors

The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance across applications

and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the

performance. 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.

For more information about all the new features the Pentium 4 delivers, check out the

Intel website at http://www.intel.com

Chipset

This board is designed with Intel®925XE (Alderwood) chipset. The Intel®925XE

chipset consists of the Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O

Controller Hub (ICH6R).

DDR2

DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers

faster speed, higher data bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.

PCI-Express (PCI-E)

Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next

decade. With smaller slot size and 250MB/sec(PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16)

maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.

Ultra ATA100

The mainboard provides an Ultra ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. This

controller supports Ultra ATA100 protocols which are ideal to support demanding

applications such as real-time video, multimedia, and a high performance operating

system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA100.

Introduction

Page 1-3

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system opera-

tion and status. This includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.

Dual GbE LAN

Two Gigabit-LAN controllers onboard running on the PCI-Express bus. This twin

set of PCI-Express to Gigabit-LAN breaks traditional bandwidth barrier, delivering

maximum 1000Mbps between internal and external network.

Serial ATA (S-ATA)

Support Serial ATA, an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE storage

interface. Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows

future enhancements to the computing platform.

S-ATA RAID

RAID function available on chipset S-ATA ports.

IEEE 1394

IEEE 1394a provides enhanced PC connectivity for consumer electronics audio/

video appliances, storage peripherals, portable devices such as digital cameras, and

inter-PC communications. IEEE 1394a provides transfer rates up to 400Mbits/sec.

USB2.0

A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer

speed while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.

8ch

Delivers 8 channel audio to bring you the latest in audio realism from DVD

movies and games. Perfect for your home theatre system.

Special Features

&Magic Health

Reports your system hardware status for every boot-up to help detect faults

early. Monitor hardware status including CPU temperature, CPU/Memory/

Chipset voltage, fan RPM speed for chassis fan, CPU fan & Power supply fan.

&EZ-Boot

Simply press “ESC” to select your bootable device. No more hassle to search

the BIOS menu, change and re-start.

&PowerBIOS

Supporting a full range of overclocking setting via BIOS. Various adjustable

feature include FSB/Chipset/Memory voltage tweaking.

&80 Port

An onboard LED-display trouble-shooting device, facilitating user to detect

boot-up problems.

&QuickSPDIF

On board SPDIF-out connector for quick connection to multi-channel

speakers. Not only removes cable cluttering but also delivers loss-free digital

audio to let you enjoy DVD movies and games with crystal clear sound.

&Thermo Stick

Flexible thermometer to let you measure any temperature by software. Ideal for

monitoring VGA card, chipset or even disk drives temperatures. Refer to page

3-15 for details.

&EZ-Button

A handy power-on button located onboard to turn on/off the system easily,

especially while debugging or testing the system.

&LEDION

Onboard LED indicators to show the power status CPU, Chipset and DRAM.

You know immediately where to look if the system fails to start.
