Introduction

2nd Tier manufacturer SuPOX scores another first with it's Intel X48 + ICH9R mainboard. This new board supports the Socket LGA775 for Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6000 series, Intel Core 2 Duo processor E6000/ E4000 series,  800/1066/1333/1600 MHz front-side bus Intel CPU manufactured in 65/45nm processors.

As DDR3 pricing is still on the high side, this board comes with a hybrid design, supporting both DDR2 and DDR3 modules. It has four 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DIMM sockets and support 1.5v DDR3-1066/1333 DIMMs with dual channel architecture and two 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM sockets that support 1.8v DDR2-667/800/1066 DIMMs with dual channel architecture. A max of 8GB of system memory can be installed on board.

This board also uses a heatpipe design, enabling it to cool down the system better than conventional designs.

This board comes with two PCI connectors compliant with PCI v2.3, one PCI-Express (x1) connector compliant with PCI Express 1.0a  and one PCI-Express (x16) Slot up to 250MB/s for enhanced PPU card compliant with PCI Express 1.0a
Two PCI Express (x16) connector compliant with PCI Express 2.0a

With the ICH9R south bridge, it supports twelve USB connectors compliant with USB2.0 from embedded USB controller (6 connectors at rear panel) and 6x S-ATA II ports with up to 300MB/s bandwidth from ICH10R, Support intel Matrix Raid 0,1,)+1,5. In addition, there is 2 SATAII port with up to 300MB/s and 1 IDE port supported by the Jmicron JMB363

There is also a Dual LAN from Realtek RTL8111B(Colay Rtl8111C) PCI-E (x1) controller. 1394b is support (one of it on rear panel) from VIA VT6307S controller. HD Audio is supported by the Realtek ALC888.
