Features and benefits
| 1333/1066/800 MHz front-side bus | Validated with a variety of processors to meet a wide range of performance needs, including the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor Q9400 and Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E8400Δ with Intel® Virtualization technology¹ and Intel® Trusted Execution technology¹,²,±, Intel Core2 Duo processor E6400Δ with Intel® Virtualization technology¹, Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7400Δ and E4300Δ, Intel® Pentium® processor E2160Δ, and Intel® Celeron® processor 440Δ. |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel DDR2 800/667 memory support | Up to 12.8 GB/s (DDR2 800 MHz) bandwidth and 8 GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness and support of 64-bit computing. |
| Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 (Intel® GMA 3100) | 3-D enhancements enable greater flexibility and scalability. Improved realism with support for Microsoft DirectX* 9.0c Shader Model 2.0, OpenGL* 1.4. |
| Intel® Fast Memory Access (Intel® FMA) | Helps improve system performance by optimizing use of available memory bandwidth and reducing latency of memory access by monitoring all pending read/write requests; allows safe and efficient overlapping of commands on all system bus interfaces. |
| Lower thermals | The updated Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features a low-power graphics core with 13 watts thermal design power (TDP). |
| Intel® Rapid Recover technology | Intel's latest data protection technology provides a recovery point that can be used to quickly recover a system should a hard drive fail or if there is massive data corruption. The clone can also be mounted as a read-only volume to allow a user to recover individual files. |
| PCI Express* x16 ports | Can be statically configured as PCI Express x8/x4/x1. The Intel® Q35 MCH contains one 16-lane (x16) PCI Express port (compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.1), intended for an external PCI Express graphics card or PCI Express I/O card. |

Δ Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
± System and component performance and functionality will vary depending on specific hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/go/viiv_info for more information on use of Intel® TXT.
¹ Intel® Virtualization Technology and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology require a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.
