All memory modules on Qualified Vendors List (QVL) have been tested and qualified for use with this motherboard. Click to download QVL Core 2 Quad The new Core2 Quad processor combines two dualcore chips in a single package that plugs into a single chip socket. It enables even more multitasking with greater performance. Bring users experience system .performance featuring faster speed. LGA775 Supports LGA775 Intel processors with HT Technology. Core 2 Duo The processor is manufactured on Intel's 65nm fab process, regardless of L2 cache size, resides in an LGA775-style socket and runs up to 1333MHz front -side bus. Its power consumption is really much lower than previous Intel desktop chips.

FSB1333 Supports the latest 1333MHz front side bus IntelProcessor

Intel 45 nm processors With roughly twice the density of Intel 65nm technology, Intel's 45nm packs about double the number of transistors into the same silicon space. The technology enables great performance leaps, up to 50-percent larger L2 cache, increases battery life and reduces power consumption in many respects. 64bit support Allows platforms to access more memory and larger files. Large memory intensive applications can see dramatic performance increases .

Dual core Outperforms single-core processors on most multithreaded applications while running at lower clock speeds and consuming less power.

PCI EXPRESS x16 Delivers up to a 4x increase in graphics and 2x I/O bandwidth for smooth multimedia performance

RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 Supports RAID 0(Striped disk array), RAID 1 (Mirroring disk array), RAID 0+1(A mirror of stripes), RAID 5(Block Interleaved Distributed Parity). Provides users the performance and protection. SPDIF Out S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a convenient connectivity and standard audio transfer format. It allows the transfer of audio from one file to another without the conversion to and from an analog format, and keeps the optical connector the best. Gigabit LAN Delivers transfer speed ten times faster than conventional 10/ 100 Ethernet connections, supporting a high transfer rate up to Gigabit/s. Gigabit LAN is the networking standards for the future and is ideal for handing large amount of data such as video, audio, and voice. DVI Output A video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. DVI transmits a digital signal from a digital location in the graphics card to a digital location on the display screen. So you get the full clarity and stability of liquid crystal technology with sharp, clear pixels. ROHS Choose an environment-friendly, fully RoHScompliant ECS product as the foundation for keeping harmful substances out of our ecosystem.

Serial-ATA II Doubles the transfer speed of SATA, running at speed up to 3.0Gb/s, and fully compatible with the soon-to-be-released SATA HDD, CD-ROM and other cutting-edge devices. 8-Channel Audio Enable premium home theater experience through the PC,with support for all major audio formats.

USB 2.0 The latest connectivity standard which delivers transfer speeds up to 480Mb/s for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfers.

Certified For Windows Vista The latest generation Microsoft O.S., delivers better personal productivity and digital entertainment on your PC through its improved reliability, security, and performance.
