processor including the E6x and X6800 processor. The XFire Series
supports the ATi CrossFire technology using two ATi graphics cards for higher
graphics performance with the first slot running in PCIe x16 and the second is a
AGI Express slot running in PCIe x4.
This board
support up to 4 slots of DDR2-533/667 modules. The chipset used supports all
series of Intel LGA775 CPUs including the highest end Intel Core2 Duo Extreme
(Conroe), the X6800 that runs clks 2.93GHz (1066FSB).
Other processors supported are the the LGA 775 for Intel®
Dual Core Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D,
supporting Core™ 2 Duo Desktop (Conroe), Presler and Cedar Mill processors, FSB
1066/800/533 MHz,, it also support Hyper-Threading Technology + EM64T CPU. The
board also untied overclocking features allowing you to boost the performance by
increase the FSB without affecting the PCI and PCIe bus speed.
This board is also VISTA
Ready and comes with HDA 8ch audio using ALC888 codec. The board also comes with

card. Using the ICH7R south bridge, 4 x Serial ATAII
3.0 Gb/s connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5 and Intel®
Matrix Storage), NCQ, AHCI and "Hot Plug" functions. There are also 2 x eSerial
ATAII 3.0 Gb/s connectors (shared with 2 SATAII ports) and support "Hot Plug"
function. On top of that, the board supports 1394 (with external bracket)
and Gigabit Ethernet.
