1-2 Mainboard Features

Brief Introduction

Socket 939

Socket 939-based motherboards are designed to provide performance enhance-

ments for AMD Athlon 64/ Athlon 64 FX processor-based systems, and it also

expected to be the next-generation of platform innovations.

For more information about all the new features AthlonTM Processor deliver, check out

the AMD website at http://www.amd.com

Chipset

The board is designed with NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra or nForce4 chipset, featuring

performance and stability with the most innovative technology and features,

including the world’s first and only native Gigabit Ethernet interface and

hardware-optimized Firewall security solution. A chipset designed for the

enthusiast class/high-end PCs running AMD Athlon 64 FX 53 processors.

For more details about the NVIDIA nForce4, please visit the NVIDIA Web site at

http://www.nvidia.com.

PCI-Express (PCI-E)

Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next

decade. With smaller slot size and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16)

maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.

DDR400

Supports dual channel of DDR400 memory to give you twice the memory

bandwidth for greater system performance.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system opera-

tion and status. This includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.

GbE LAN

This mainboard is optionally equipped with the NVIDIA Gigabit ethernet LAN

feature. The new Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows data transmission at 1,000 megabits

per second (Mbps), which runs 10 times faster than conventional 10/100BASE-T

Ethernet LANs.

Introduction

Page 1-3

Serial ATA II (Optional)

The second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to

300MB/sec. It supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage

devices. Hot-plug has also become its standard function to plug/unplug

whenever you want.

Serial ATA

Support Serial ATA, an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE storage

interface. Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows

future enhancements to the computing platform.

S-ATA RAID

RAID function available on chipset S-ATAⅡ, S-ATA ports.

P-ATA RAID

This signifies Parallel-ATA (P-ATA) with RAID function, commonly known as

'IDE RAID'. This feature is provided by designing extra IDE controllers on board

in addition to the standard IDE ports from chipsets. These extra controllers may

provide 2 ports (up to 4 IDE devices) for RAID 0, 1 0+1 function or even 4 ports

(up to 8 IDE devices) for RAID 0, 1, 10 function.

IEEE 1394 (Optional)

Supports IEEE 1394a (or Firewire) for easy connection to Video Camcorder and

external drives. The IEEE1394a specifications defines a transfer rate of up to

400Mbps.

USB2.0

A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer

speed while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.

8ch

Delivers 8 channel audio to bring you the latest in audio realism from DVD

movies and games. Perfect for your home theatre system.

AMD Cool'n'QuietTM Technology

AMD's Cool'n'QuietTM Technology lowers CPU operating voltage when the

system is in idle mode. This helps to reduce heat dissipation and in effect lowers

the fan speed to noise from your PC. To enable Cool'n'QuietTM the BIOS must

support this feature.

Introduction

NVIDIA ActiveArmorTM (only supported in the NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra MCPs)

Enhances networks security while delivers the highest system performance by

off-loading CPU-intensive packet filtering tasks in hardware, providing users

with a PC networking environment that is both fast and secure.

NV Firewall

An unprecedented addition design for nForce product, provide high performance

& enhanced reliability of PC security solution to the users. The features would be

more advanced than many stand-alone firewalls can provide!
