The motherboard incorporates the 945GC Northbridge (NB) and ICH7 Southbridge
(SB) chipsets.
(SB) chipsets.
The Northbridge supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 1066/
800/533 MHz using a scalable FSB Vcc_CPU. The memory controller supports
DDR2 memory DIMM frequencies of 667/533/400. It supports two DDR2 sockets
with up to maximum memory of 2 GB. DDR2 memory bandwidth of 4.3 Gb/s in
single-channel is supported, or 8.5 Gb/s in dual-channel interleaved mode assuming
DDR2 667 MHz. High resolution graphics via one PCI Express slot, intended for
Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision
1.0a.
