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 Dual-Core processor provides two execution cores in one physical

processor allowing the platform to do more in less time while enjoying

smooth interaction with your PC.

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 either Intel®945P (Lakeport-P) or Intel®945PL

(Lakeport-PL) chipset. The Intel®945P/945PL chipset consists of the Memory

Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7).

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.

Jumper Configurable PCI-Express

This mainboard is cleverly designed with a jumper configurable PCI-Express

slot that lets user select the bandwidth required. This allows high speed PCI-E

devices such as RAID controller or VGA cards to be supported on this

mainboard.

Introduction

Page 1-3

Ultra ATA100

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

controller supports Ultra ATA100 protocols which are ideal to support demand-

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

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

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system

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

RPMs.

10/100 LAN (Optional)

This mainboard is mounted with a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller. It

allows the mainboard to connect to a local area network by means of a network

hub.

GbE LAN (Optional)

This mainboard is mounted with the new Gigabit Ethernet LAN which allows data

transmission at 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps), running at 10 times faster

than conventional 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LANs.

Serial ATA II

S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring

speed up to 300MB/sec. It supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for

your storage devices.

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.

&Post 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 (Optional)

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.
