Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 671T-M motherboard. This motherboard is a high perfor-
mance, enhanced function motherboard that supports the LGA775 socket Intel Core™ 2
Duo/Pentium D/Pentium 4/Celeron D processors for high-end business or personal desktop
markets.
The motherboard incorporates the SiS671 Northbridge (NB) and SiS968 Southbridge (SB)
chipsets. The SiS671 Northbridge chipset features the AGTL & AGTL+ compliant bus
driver technology with integrated on-die termination to support Intel Pentium 4 series
processors with FSB 1066/800/533 MHz. The memory controller supports DDR2 memory
DIMM frequencies of 667/533/400. It supports two DDR2 Sockets with up to maximum
memory of 4 GB. High resolution graphics via one PCI Express slot, intended for Graphics
Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Specification revision 1.1.
The SiS968 Southbridge supports Hi-Precision Event Timer (HPET) for Microsoft Win-
dows with multiple DMA bus architecture that supports isochroous request and continuous
packet transmission. It implements an EHCI compliant interface that provides 480Mb/s
bandwidth for eight USB 2.0 ports. One onboard IDE connector supports two IDE devices
in Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33. The Southbridge integrates a Serial ATA host controller,
supporting two SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each.
This motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including
PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT1 (optional), VGA, four USB ports, one
