Features and benefits
| Supports Intel® Core™2 Processor with Viiv™ TechnologyΔ | Intel® Core™2 processor with Viiv™ technologyΔ is a set of PC technologies designed for the enjoyment of digital entertainment in the home. Intel G33 Express Chipset has support for Intel® Core™2 processor with Viiv™ technology with either the ICH9R or ICH9DH SKUs. |
|---|---|
| 1333/1066/800 MHz System Bus | Supports the Intel® Core™2 Duo and Intel® Core™2 Quad processors with Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)◊, Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® processor, and Intel® Celeron® processor. |
| PCI Express* Interface | The PCI Express x16 graphics interface supports the latest high-performance graphics cards. The PCI Express x1 I/O ports offer up to 3.5X the bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture, delivering faster access to peripheral I/O devices. |
| Intel® Fast Memory Access | Updated Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) backbone architecture that improves system performance by optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth and reducing the latency of the memory accesses. |
| Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory Support | Delivers up to 17 GB/s of bandwidth and 8 GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness and support of 64-bit computing. |
| Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 | 3D enhancements enable greater flexibility and scalability and improved realism with support for Microsoft DirectX* 9.0c Shader Model 2.0, OpenGL* 1.5. Intel® Graphics also support the highest levels of the Windows Vista* Aero experience. |
| Intel® Clear Video Technology | Video processing hardware and software delivers enhanced high-definition video playback, sharper images with advanced de-interlacing, and advanced ProcAmp color controls. |
| Support for High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) | HDMI delivers uncompressed HD video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in a single cable, supporting all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and 1080p. |
| Intel® TV Wizard | Enables seamless setup and configuration to TVs and resolves overscan issues with a simple step-by-step guide to automatically or manually configure your PC to any TV. |
| Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) | Integrated audio support enables premium digital sound and delivers advanced features, such as multiple audio streams and jack re-tasking. |
| Intel® Matrix Storage Technology (Intel® MST) | With a second hard drive added, provides quicker access to digital photo, video and data files with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and greater data protection against a hard disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 10. Support for external SATA* (eSATA) enables the full SATA interface speed outside the chassis, up to 3 Gb/s. |
| USB* Port Disable | Enables individual USB ports to be enabled or disabled as needed. This feature provides added protection of data by preventing malicious removal or insertion of data through USB ports. |
| Intel® Quiet System Technology | Intelligent system fan speed control algorithms use operating temperature ranges more efficiently to reduce perceived system noise by minimizing fan speed changes. |
