The Intel®
945GC Express Chipset with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
graphics core delivers outstanding system performance through
high-bandwidth interfaces such as dual-channel DDR2 memory, 533/400 MHz
system bus, PCI Express x16 graphics port, Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s and
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity management. | |  | | Solid Capacitor for CPU VRM
Stable system operation depends upon the quality of CPU VRM (voltage regulator module).
GIGABYTE adopts Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Capacitors for CPU VRM to ensure a longer
lifespan for systems in daily operation and boost system stability under extreme conditions.
CPU VRM with Solid Capacitors featuring better electronic conductivity,
excellent heat resistance enhances system durability even operating in high
temperature environment. | |  | | Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 950
The Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator 950 combines faster graphics processing and
increased memory bandwidth to deliver richer visual quality and colors
without the need for additional discrete graphics cards. | |  | | Intel Core™ 2 Duo Processor
Leading
the silicon process technology from 90nm to 65nm, the Intel
new-generation CPU transistors deliver more energy-efficient
performance than anyone. Based on the Intel's next generation Micro
Architecture, the Intel Core ™2 Duo processor with two cores and shared
L2 caches provides the best capability-per-watt solutions. The
cutting-edge processor the significant performance boosts and better
energy efficient platform | |  | | 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. | |  | | 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. | |  | | Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s
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. | |  | | RoHS compliant
As
a member of the global community to look after the environment,
Gigabyte complies with the European Union's Restriction of use of
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive which limits the use of
lead, mercury, cadmium and other hazardous substances in electronic
products.. From components and material selection to production
processes, make up of accessories, packaging/color boxes etc; GIGABYTE
has carefully examined and designed this product to be 100% RoHS
compliant. GIGABYTE will continue to develop RoHS compliant PC
components and commit valuable resources to promoting and advancing
RoHS directive goals and objectives. |
