Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 865GV-M7D 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.
865GV-M7D incorporates chipset of Intel 865GV Northbridge and ICH5 Southbridge. The
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 266MHz, 333MHz and 400MHz. It supports four DDR Sockets with
up to 4GB. DDR memory bandwidth up to 3.2 GB/s (DDR400) for single-channel mode and
6.4 GB/s (DDR400) in dual-channel mode are supported.
The ICH5 Southbridge on this motherboard supports three PCI slots which are PCI 2.3
compliant. It accommodates eight USB 2.0 ports for Serial Transfers at maximum 480Mb/
s. This motherboard complies with AC’97 2.3 CODEC and supports up to six channels of
PCM audio output (full AC3 decode). Two onboard IDE connectors support 4 IDE devices
in ATA-100/66/33 mode. The Southbridge integrates two Serial ATA host controllers that
are SATA v1.0 compliant, supporting two SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to
150 MB/s each.
The 865GV-M7D motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear
panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM1, LPT1, one VGA port, four
USB ports, one optional LAN port, one optional 1394 port, and audio jacks for micro-
phone, line-in and line out.

Feature
Processor
This motherboard uses an LGA775 type of Pentium 4 that carries the following fea-
tures:
•
•
•
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.
Chipset
The 865GV Northbridge (NB) and ICH5 Southbridge (SB) chipset are based on an
innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
