1.3.1 Product Highlights

Latest processor technology

The motherboard supports the AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Sempron™ desktop

processors. The AMD Athlon™ 64 is based on AMD’s 64-bit architecture, which

represents the landmark introduction of the industry’s first x86-64 technology. This

processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance,

investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development.

The AMD Sempron™ is a 32-bit processor that provides the performance needs of

value-conscious buyers. This processor is designed to deliver best-in-class

performance for everyday computing.

HyperTransport™ Technology

HyperTransport™ Technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link

designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in

computers, networking and telecommunicatons equipment up to 48 times faster

than other existing technologies.

Cool ‘n’ Quiet!™ Technology

The motherboard supports the AMD

Cool ‘n’ Quiet!™ Technology that dynamically

and automatically changes the CPU speed, voltage and amount of power

depending on the task the CPU performs.

Serial ATA solution

The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA)

specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface.

The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin

count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate.

RAID solution

The motherboard provides a built-in high-performance RAID controller that allows

you to configure a RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD set that spans across the IDE and

Serial ATA drives. The built-in RAID controller enhances hard disk performance

and data backup protection without the cost of additional RAID cards.

AI Audio technology

The motherboard supports 6-channel audio through the onboard ALC850 CODEC

with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible multi-channel

audio designed for PC multimedia systems. It also features intelligent detection of

plugged peripherals into the audio ports and identifies any incompatible devices.
