Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the G43T-M motherboard. This motherboard is a high
performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support the LGA775 socket
Intel
®
Yorkfield/Wolfdale family processors for high-end business or personal desk-
top markets.
The motherboard incorporates the G43 Northbridge (NB) and ICH10 Southbridge
(SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 1333/
1066/800 MHz using a scalable FSB Vcc_CPU. The memory controller supports
DDR2 memory DIMM frequencies of 800/667. It supports four DDR2 Sockets with
up to maximum memory of 8 GB*. DDR2 Maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/
s in dual-channel symmetric mode assuming DDR2 800 MHz. High resolution graph-
ics via one PCI Express slot, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to
the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0.
The ICH10 Southbridge supports one PCI slot which is PCI v2.3 compliant.
In
addition, two PCI Express x1 slots are supported. It implements an EHCI compliant
interface that provides 480 Mb/s bandwidth for 12 USB 2.0 ports (6 USB ports and 3
USB 2.0 headers support additional 6 USB ports). The Southbridge integrates a Serial
ATA host controller, supporting six SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to
3.0 Gb/s each.
The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,
including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, one HDMI port, one VGA port, six
USB ports, one LAN port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and 8-ch line-out.
* You can only insert two Single Bank memory modules to each channel
when using one channel with two dimms, since G43 only supports two
dimms with Dual-channel.
