Latest processor technology
The motherboard comes with a 940-pin AM2 socket that supports AMD
Athlon™ 64 FX/AMD Athlon™ 64 X2/AMD Athlon™ 64/AMD Sempron™
processors. With an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth memory
controller and a highly scalable HyperTransport™ technology-based system
bus, the motherboard provides a powerful platform for your diverse
computing needs, increased ofce productivity, and enhanced digital media
experience. See page 2-5 for details.
Scalable Link Interface (SLI™) technology
The NVIDIA
®
Scalable Link Interface (SLI™) technology allows two graphics
processing units (GPUs) in a single system. This technology takes
advantage of the PCI Express™ bus architecture and features intelligent
hardware and software solutions that allows multiple GPUs to work
together and achieve exceptional graphics performance. See Chapter 6 for
details.
AMD 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. See pages 4-25, 5-3
and 5-9.
Gigabit LAN
The motherboard comes with a Gigabit LAN controller built into the
NVIDIA
®
nForce™ 500 SLI™ chipset to meet your growing networking
needs. The controller uses the PCI Express segment to provide faster data
bandwidth for your Internet, LAN, and le sharing requirements. See page
2-22 for details.
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates
of 800/667/533 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel
DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost
system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up
to 12.8 GB/s. See pages 2-10 to 2-13 for details.
