Brief Introduction
Intel®Pentium®4 processors
The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance across applications
and usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the
performance. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class performance for
consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users as well as for
entry-level workstation users.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor
family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function
as two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.

Chipset
This board is designed with Intel®915PL chipset. The Intel®915PL chipset
consists of the Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O Controller
Hub (ICH6).
Dual Channel
Supports dual channel of DDR400 memory to give you twice the memory
bandwidth for greater system performance.
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.
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.
Ultra ATA100
The mainboard provides an Ultra ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. This
controller supports Ultra ATA100 protocols which are ideal to support demanding
applications such as real-time video, multimedia, and a high performance operating
system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA100.
