|---|---|
| 1066/800/533 MHz System Bus | Supports the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with Intel® Virtualization Technology◊, Intel® Pentium® D processor 900Δ, Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology◊ and all other Intel® processors using the LGA775 socket. |
| PCI Express* Interface | The PCI Express x16 graphics interface supports the latest high-performance graphics cards. The PCI Express x1 I/O ports offer up to 3.5X the bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture, delivering faster access to peripheral I/O devices. |
| Intel® Fast Memory Access
(Intel® FMA) |
Updated Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) backbone architecture that improves system performance by optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth and reducing the latency of the memory accesses. |
| Dual-Channel DDR2 Memory Support | Delivers up to 12.8 GB/s of bandwidth and 8GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness and support of 64-bit computing. |
| Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 | 3D enhancements enable greater game compatibility with support for Hardware T&L, and improved realism with support for Microsoft DirectX* 9.0c Shader Model 3.0, OpenGL* 1.5, and floating point operations. Intel graphics technology also support the highest levels of the Microsoft Vista* Aero experience. |
| Intel® Clear Video Technology | Video processing hardware and software delivers enhanced high-definition video playback, sharper images with advanced de-interlacing, and advanced ProcAmp color controls. |
| Support for High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) | HDMI delivers uncompressed HD video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in a single High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable, supporting all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and 1080p. |
| Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio)◊ | Integrated audio support enables premium digital sound and delivers advanced features, such as multiple audio streams and jack re-tasking. The Dolby PC Entertainment Experience* 5 is available exclusively on systems with Intel High Definition Audio. |
| Intel® Matrix Storage Technology◊ | With a second hard drive added, provides quicker access to digital photo, video and data files with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and greater data protection against a hard disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 10. Support for external SATA* (eSATA) enables the full SATA interface speed outside the chassis, up to 3 Gb/s. |
|
Serial ATA (SATA)
3 Gbp/s |
High-speed storage interface supports faster transfer rate for improved data access. |
| USB* Port Disable | Enables individual USB ports to be enabled or disabled as needed. This feature provides added protection of data by preventing malicious removal or insertion of data through USB ports. |
| Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST) | Intelligent system fan speed control algorithms use operating temperature ranges more efficiently to reduce perceived system noise by minimizing fan speed changes. |

Δ1 Verified services will vary, and content restrictions may apply. Wireless and network performance varies with specific hardware and software configurations, usage, and environmental interference. Use a wired connection for improved performance with video and other media. May require TV tuner card and/or remote which may be sold separately. Instant on/off feature works after initial boot, when activated. See www.intel.com/products/viiv/ for more information.
◊1 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT), and Intel® 64 architecture require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers and applications designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.
Δ2 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.
◊2 Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with an Intel® Processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for more information including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology.
◊3 Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer to www.intel.com.
◊4 Intel® Matrix Storage Technology (Intel® MST) requires the computer have an Intel MST-enabled Intel® chipset, RAID controller in the BIOS enabled and the Intel Matrix Storage Technology software driver installed. Please consult your system vendor for more information.
