8Introduction

hardware acceleration, 333 MHz display clock, and up to 384 MB

of video memory, the Intel GMA X3100 provides a cost-effective

and high-performance graphics solution. The MI-965 comes with

the dual-independent display technology, enabling different con-

tents to be displayed on two separate display terminals or a single

content stretched across two display devices for expanded work-

space.

Gigabit Ethernet

The motherboard is equipped with the Intel® 82573L and

82566DC. 82566DC is a single port Gigabit Ethernet Physical

Layer Transceiver (PHY) that connects to its MAC through a dedi-

cated interconnects. Both 82573L and 82566DC are based on

Intel's Gigabit PHY technology, and supports operation at data

rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps. Utilizing its wide bandwidth, the giga-

bit LAN controller allows up to 1 Gbps of data transfer rate for

superior network communications.

PCI Express®

The MI-965 fully supports the PCI Express® technology with one

PCI Express® x16 slot. The PCI Express x16 graphics interface

offers increased bandwidth and scalability over AGP 8X. PCI

Express x16 allows up to 4 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction,

and up to 8 GB/s concurrent bandwidth.

Serial ATA II technology

Storage is efficient and secure with the Serial ATA II interface. Uti-

lizing the Intel® ICH8M, the MI-965 supports up to two Serial ATA

II devices capable of reading/writing data at up to 3 Gbps. The

SATA specification improves chassis airflow via thinner and more

flexible cables with lower pin count.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0

The MI-965 incorporates the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 spec-

ification that increases peripheral connection speed from 12 Mbps

(USB 1.1) to 480 Mbps. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB

1.1.
