In year 2002, we saw the GA-8INXP and
was impressed by its features. Gigabyte never disappoints us by introducing the
SiS variant of the Dual channel board for the Intel Pentium 4. This board is
another exciting board at the beginning of year 2003. Featuring the SiS 655 A0
stepping chipset, this board supports all the latest Intel P4 CPUs including the
P4 3.06HT processor (as claimed by Gigabyte). The 6 Duals makes its way to the
first high end SiS chipset based P4 board :
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.
