Introduction

Thank you for choosing the 915G-M5 motherboard. This motherboard is a high perfor-

mance, enhanced function motherboard that supports LGA775 Socket for latest Intel

Pentium 4/Celeron processors for high-end business or personal desktop markets.

The motherboard may support 915G Northbridge (NB) and ICH6 Southbridge (SB) chipsets.

The 915G Northbridge on this motherboard supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of

800/533 MHz using a scalable FSB Vcc_CPU. The memory controller supports DDR

memory DIMM frequencies of 333MHz and 400 MHz. It supports four DDR Sockets with

up to maximum memory of 4 GB. DDR Maximum memory bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s in single-

channel mode and 6.4 GB/s in dual-channel mode is supported. One 16-lane PCI Express

port, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specifica-

tion revision 1.0a.

The ICH6 Southbridge on this motherboard supports three PCI slots which are PCI 2.3

compliant. It implements an EHCI compliant interface that provides 480Mb/s bandwidth

for eight USB 2.0 ports, AC’97 CODEC that features a 6-channel audio speaker out, One

onboard IDE connector supports 2 IDE devices in ATA-100/66 mode. The Southbridge

integrates a Serial ATA host controller that is SATA v1.0 compliant, supporting four SATA

ports with maximum transfer rate up to 150 MB/s each.

The 915G-M5 motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,

including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT, four USB ports, one VGA

port, one optional LAN port, and audio jacks for microphone, line-in, and 8-channel line-

out.

IntroducingtheMotherboard

Feature

• Accommodates Intel P4/Celeron processors

• Supports a system bus (FSB) of 800/533MHz

• Supports “Hyper-Threading” technology CPU

“Hyper-Threading” technology enables the operating system into thinking it’s hooked

up to two processors, allowing two threads to be run in parallel, both on separate

“logical” processors within the same physical processor.

The 915G-M5 uses a LGA775 type of Pentium 4 that carries the following features:

• Two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard

• One serial port and one parallel port

• Four USB ports

• One VGA port, one 1394 port (optional) and one LAN port (optional)

• Audio jacks for microphone in, line-in and line-out (Audio jack for microphone

in, line-in and 8-ch High DefinitionAudio out if supportsAzaliaAudio CODEC.)

• Compliant with theAC’97 v2.3 CODEC

• Supports 6-channel audio CODEC designed for PC multimedia systems

• Provides three analog line-level stereo inputs with 5-bit volume control:

Line-in,CD,AUX

• Supports S/PDIF output and input function

• Compliant with Azalia specification, supporting 8 channel DACs with

SNR>95dB

• Capabilities: 192/96/48/44.1 KHz with 24/20/16 bits
