Features and Benefits
 

Supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology Experiencing the extraordinary computing power of Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. Enabling the system to multitask more efficiently than ever before when running the most demanding applications at the same time.

Superb bandwidth AGP 8X graphics interface Featuring AGP 8x (AGP 3.0) the new generation VGA interface specification, GA-8SQ800 Ultra2 delivers enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth up to 2.12GB/s. Allowing users to have a more realistic graphics experiences while gaming or movie watching.

Dual Channel DDR400 memory architecture With the enhanced Dual Channel DDR400 memory structure, GA-8SQ800 Ultra2 provides high bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s and high capacity of 4GB with 4 DIMM slots to ensure greatest memory performance.

DPS Dual Power System (DPS) is the newly developed technology and applied to enhance the stability of the system. The DPS technology gives a power circuit with a total of 6 "phases" - twice the amount recommended by the standard motherboard design guideline. In a DPS (Dual Power System) designed motherboard, an additional 3-phase power circuit DPVRM (Dual Power Voltage Regulator Module) daughter card is added on the motherboard. This effectively provides a more durable and stable power circuit for intensifying the stability of current system and for future processors.

Gigabit LAN Intel 82540EM Gigabit LAN controller is deployed to delivers one Gigabit/sec data throughput for high quality and high performance network connectivity.

Serial ATA interface Serial ATA is the revolutionary ATA interface that provides scalable performance for IDE device. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA and delivers superior input/output performance.

ITE GigaRAID IDE RAID Controller: Supporting RAID (0, 1, 0+1), JBOD function and ATA133 interface, ITE GigaRAID Controller delivers completely solution for storage interface to increase fault tolerance, improve data access performance and provides additional interface for more IDE devices.

IEEE1394 Interface For the multi-purpose platform, the IEEE1394 is highly anticipated interface which enhances PC connectivity for consumer electronics audio/ video (A/V) appliances, storage peripherals, and portable devices.

Integrated High quality 6-Channel AC97 Audio Through 6-channel audio output, users can experience the 3D surround sound without additional equipments. It fulfills the requirements for a variety of audio applications, such as MP3 or Audio CD playback, DVD movies and gaming thus delivering ideal platform for multimedia solution.

GIGABYTE Patent DualBIOS™ DualBIOS™ prevents BIOS from virus attacks to provide a double security thus assuring the PC stability.

EasyTune™ 4 - User Friendly Overclocking Utility A user-friendly windows based utility developed by GIGABYTE provides a brand new experience of easily operation and enjoyment for over-clocking on your platform.

Norton Internet Security™ Included Norton Internet Security™ 2002 is the essential protection from viruses, hackers, and privacy threats. It protects user during the online activities such as e-mailing, shopping, banking, and game playing.
