Manufacturer's product description
The motherboard is capable of supporting the Intel LGA775 Pentium 4, the dual-core CPU, as well as compatibility of either 64- or 32-bit architecture. Featuring 1066/800/533MHz FSB, Hyper Threading Technology, dedicated L2 cache, and core-speeds up to 3.8GHz and beyond, the motherboard delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access, and increased productivity. This motherboard supports Intel 65nm Pentium D/ Intel Pentium 4/ Celeron processors. ASUS motherboard is the ideal solution to enhance the performance of new generation processors. This motherboard supports PCI Express X16 and AGP8X slots to provide ultimate flexibility for graphics card upgrade. The PCI Express X16 slot running at PCI Express X4 speed outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to 2GB/s. Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility. The onboard VIA VT8237A southbridge allows RAID 0, RAID 1 and JBOD configuration for two SATA connectors. Easy connectivity to your network or broadband connection with onboard LAN port lets you take gaming online without buying expensive additional LAN cards. USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB 1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfers.
