NVIDIA nForce4 Chipset The new NVIDIA nForce4 chipset with Hyper-Threading Technology delivers significant performance gains with variety of new generation architectures including dual-channel DDR2 main memory, PCI- Express interface, NVIDIA MediaArmor technology for improving storage reliability and performance.

LGA 775 Intel ® Pentium ® D Processor With new 90nm technology, the world's most advanced chip-making process, it delivers significant gains in performance through the combination of lower-power transistors, strained silicon, high-speed copper interconnects and a new low-k dielectric material. With 1066FSB allows larger bandwidth for

data processing up to 8.5GB/s. (*Please see FAQ for Intel processor support limitation)

64bit Ready with Intel ® EM64T Join the 64-bit computing era with Intel ® Extended Memory 64 Technology. 64-bit operating systems allow twice the amount of data access than 32-bit operating systems, thus enhancing system productivity and memory responsiveness. Additionally, Intel ® Extended Memory 64 Technology allows

the processor to run in legacy mode to ensure that it remains fully compatible with today's existing 32- bit applications and operating systems.

Dual Channel DDR2 667 The new DDR2 main memory architecture delivers maximum bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s in dual channel mode, providing highest performance for high memory resource demand applications.

SATA at 3Gb/s with RAID 5 The SATA specification doubles bus bandwidth from 1.5Gb/s to 3Gb/s. Native Command Queuing is a new specification that enables out-of-order execution of commands for efficient retrieval of data. Hot Plug support allows users to insert and remove hard disk drives without shutting off power to the

system

NVIDIA ActiveArmor powered Firewall/ Norton Internet Security (NIS) The combination of NV Firewall & Norton Internet Security delivers complete solution for system security in the thriving networking environment. This overall package provides the solid protection

against hackers, viruses, and privacy infringements without scarifying system performance. Utilizing ActiveArmor hardware engine, the NVIDIA firewall fully protects the system from intruders while delivers the highest system performance.

Gigabit LAN connectivity The Gigabit network interface delivers a high speed LAN connection with data transfer rate up to 1000Mb/s, providing new generation connectivity for the broadband era. Gigabit LAN is ideally for seamless internet connection such as streaming audio and video contents.

8-Channel Audio Experiences the 3D surround sound through the 8-channel audio solution. The advanced feature fulfills the requirements for a variety of audio applications, such as MP3 or Audio CD playback, DVD movies and gaming thus delivering ideal platform for multimedia solution.

PCI Express Interface Revolutionary PCI Express interface provides scalable bandwidth for multi-purpose usage. PCI-E x16 interface delivers the utmost graphics experience, PCI-E x1interface delivers twice the bandwidth of PCI interface up to 250MB/s for new generation I/O peripheral devices.

GIGABYTE ShieldWare A solid pack of unique software features focused on performing important system essentials with speed and ease.
