4 processors
The Pentium 4 processor is designed to deliver performance across applications and
usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the performance. These
applications include Internet audio and streaming video, image processing, video
content creation, speech, 3D, CAD, games, multimedia, and multi-tasking user
environments. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class performance for
consumer enthusiasts and business professional desktop PC users as well as for
entry-level workstation users.
Intel adds support for Hyper-Threading Technology to the Pentium 4 processor
family. HT Technology allows a single, physical Pentium 4 processor to function as
two logical processor for next generation multi threaded application.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. This
new specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification by
allowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock) resulting in maximum band-
width of 2.1GB/s. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.
Ultra ATA/66/100/133
The board provides two independent ATA133 IDE controllers, supporting standard
programmable input/output (PIO) and Direct Memory Access (DMA) mode
operations, as well as UltraDMA-133/100/66/33 standards for a maximum data
transfer rate of 133MB/sec per channel.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation
and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
LAN
This mainboard is optionally mounted with LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to
connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
