A Closer Look
Socket
This motherboard features a Socket 775 design.
The Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) style socket makes it easy to install and
upgrade your processor.
Chipset
The 945GCLL motherboard is based on the Intel 965G Northbridge chipset.
It supports Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium D and Celeron D Processors, with
Hyper-Threading Technology and 533/800/1066MHz Front Side Bus support.
Memory
Expansion
The 945GCLL provides 2 DIMM sockets using Dual Channel 240-pin DDR2 with
a total capacity of up to 2GB. You can install DDR2 400/533/667MHz Memory.
PCI
Express Support
The 945GCLL fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology
that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections
between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets.
This high-speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications.
IDE
The 945GCLL includes built in IDE facilities that support Ultra DMA 33 and
ULtra ATA 66/100/133.
Audio
The 945GCLL comes with a Sigmatel STA9220 audio codec which supports high
quality 6-channel audio.
Serial
ATA Support
The 945GCLL supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces.
Doubles bus bandwidth which provides blazingly high disk performance, up
to 3.0Gb/s.

Great mobo. i have installed with a P4 3.00GHz HT and is stable as a rock only problem i had was with the drivers for onboard video and video. but Intel fixed that very quickly.

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
