Chapter 1 Introduction
This motherboard has a LGA 775 socket for latest Intel CoreTM 2 Duo/Celeron
D processors with Hyper-Threading Technology and Front-Side Bus (FSB)
speeds up to 1333/1066/800/533 MHz. Hyper-Threading Technology, designed to
take advantage of the multitasking features gives you the power to do more things
at once.
This motherboard integrates the 945GC Northbridge along with Intel I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7) that supports the Serial ATA interface for high-performance and mainstream desktop PCs; the built-in USB 2.0 providing higher bandwidth and implementing Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
It supports 6-channel High Definition Audio Codec and provides one IDE Ultra
ATA 100/66/33 channel. It has one PCIEX16 slot and two 32-bit PCI slots. There
is a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, one serial
port, one optional LAN port, one VGA port, audio jacks for microphone, line-in
and line-out, and four back-panel USB 2.0 ports. In addition, onboard USB headers

Note: 1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you
use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink
installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.
3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.

Note: 1. Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card
carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation.
2. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,
PCIE frequency will also be overclocked from 100MHz to 125MHz.
20
Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot
you are going to use.
Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot.
Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.
Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
Note:
For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network
adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin
using the add-on card.
