Chapter 1 Introduction
This motherboard has a LGA 775 socket for latest Intel® Core
TM
2 Duo/Celeron
®
D processors with Hyper-Threading Technology and Front-Side Bus (FSB)
speeds up to 1333/1066/800/533 MHz. Hyper-Threading Technology, designed to
take advantage of the multitasking features gives you the power to do more things
at once.
This motherboard integrates the 945GC Northbridge along with Intel I/O Con-
troller Hub 7 (ICH7) that supports the Serial ATA interface for high-perfor-
mance and mainstream desktop PCs; the built-in USB 2.0 providing higher band-
width and implementing Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
It supports 6-channel High Definition Audio Codec and provides one IDE Ultra
ATA 100/66/33 channel. It has one PCIEX16 slot and two 32-bit PCI slots. There
is a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, one serial
