 | Overview |
| | |  | | GIGABYTE leading technology-Easy Energy Saver
Featuring
an advanced proprietary software design, GIGABYTE Easy Energy Saver is
able to dynamically adjust CPU power depending on workload, delivering
just the right amount of power needed for the task. Coupled with
Intel’s highly efficient 45nm CPU’s, Easy Energy Saver is able to
provide exceptional levels of power savings and enhanced power
efficiency without sacrificing computing performance. |  |  | | Intel® Core 2 multi-core and upcoming 45nm processors
GA-G31M-ES2L
supports Intel latest high performance CPU delivers the most
energy-efficient performance available today. Based on Intel's Micro
Architecture, the Intel multi-core processors with 4 cores and two
shared L2 caches provide the best capability-per-watt solutions and are
an ideal choice for multi-media enthusiasts and intensive multi-tasking
environments. This cutting-edge processor offers significant
performance boosts and provides an overall more energy efficient
platform | |  | | Solid Capacitor and Ferrite Core Choke for CPU VRM
Stable
system operation depends upon the quality of CPU VRM (voltage regulator
module). GIGABYTE adopts Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Capacitors
and Ferrite Core Choke for CPU VRM featuring better electronic
conductivity, excellent heat resistance, and ensures a longer lifespan
for systems in daily operation and boost system stability under extreme
conditions. | |  | | DualBIOS™ - Patented Dual Hardware BIOS Protection
DualBIOS™
is a GIGABYTE patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data
when main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs
integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless
recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS
updating. | |  | | 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. | |  | | Dual Channel DDR2 800
Get
a jump in memory performance with the advanced technology of DDR2 800
memory architecture, which delivers superior performance for the most
demanding applications | | | | | Intel GMA 3100
Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 support Microsoft DirectX 9.0 and
Windows Vista Aero experience. The 3D enhancement of GMA 3100 highly
improves the realism and graphics performance.. | |  | | SATA 3Gb/s storage interface
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. | |  | | 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 | |  | | Smart
The
Smart featured motherboards of GIGABYTE S-series provide GIGABYTE
proprietary innovative software such as Download Center, @BIOS,
Q-Flash, Xpress Install, Boot menu, and Smart Fan. BIOS and driver
management now becomes much easier and user friendly through GIGABYTE
Smart features!...more | |  | | Safe
Safe
is the key feature of GIGABYTE S-series motherboards with the following
elements: Excellent hardware design reinforced BIOS protection through
GIGABYTE Virtual Dual BIOS Technology and GIGABYTE BIOS Setting
Recovery Technology. Unique system software such as Xpress Recovery 2,
PC Health Monitor, HDD S.M.A.R.T., and C.O.M. further strengthen the
stability and reliability of your PC!...more | |  | | RoHS compliant
