小相同规格的記憶體模組而維持雙通道作業模式，讓系統
的升級空間更具彈性(975,965,963,945p)
2. 英特尔® 内存流水线技术( MPT)：支持每个存储通道都实
现更高的利用率，以加速处理器和系统内存的传输速度，
以获得更高的内存使用效率。(975)
3. 英特尔® 快速内存访问(FMA) ：是通过优化可用内存带宽
的使用，并降低内存访问延迟，更新的图形内存控制器中
枢(GMCH) 骨干架构提高了系统性能
4. 英特尔® 高清晰度音频(HD Audio)：支持全新的娱乐格式，
如7.1环绕声、插孔重分配和DTS*。音频编解码器支持
192 kHz音质、多数据流和更出色的语音输入，以进行语
音识别和IP语音

5. 英特尔® 主动管理技术(AMT)2.5：支持带外网络化系统的
远程、线下管理，而不管系统状态如何，可帮助改善 IT
效率、资产管理以及系统安全性与可用性。“系统防御”
功能可帮助阻止软件攻击入侵，如果客户端感染病毒，则
将其与网络隔离；如果关键的软件代理遗失，则主动向 IT
人员发出告警。
6. PCI Express总线体系架构：PCI Express x16 显卡的带
宽高达每方向4 GB/s，是AGP8X的带宽的3.5倍2。PCI
Express x1 I/O 能提供500 MB/s的并发带宽，比133 MB/s
的PCI高3.5倍之多
7. 直接媒体接口(DMI)：对于I/O密集型应用，全新的串行总
线在内存与I/O控制器之间能提供高达2.0 GB/s的并发带宽，
远远超过前一代体系架构的266 MB/s。

8. 英特尔串行数字视频输出端口(SDVO)：双串行数字
视频输出（SDVO）端口通过现有PCI Express* x16
端口连接集成显卡和第三方插卡，可提供出色的显示
灵活性（数字CRT或电视）。
9. 64位英特尔内存扩展技术(Intel® EM64T)：支持64
位内存寻址能力，从而提供更出色的工作站应用灵活
性。 925x
10. 纠错码（ECC）: 975
