World leading Motherboard manufacturer GIGABYTE^® proudly announces the latestIntel^® 845G chipset based platform. GA-8IGX, the ultimate valuable motherboard withpure Intel^® solution among P4 Titan 533 series. Countless validations byGIGABYTE^® strongest RD deployment, GA-8IGX is designed to offer the most usefuland valuable platform you’ve never seen providing stability and reliability in nearfuture.

Intel^® 845G chipset with FSB 533 ready maximized Pentium^® 4 processorperformance:Supporting Intel^® latest 0.13 micron-process technology and 533MHzFSB (Front Side Bus), GA-8IGX provides high-bandwidth connection between thePentium^® 4 processor and the platform. With 3xDIMM slots support up to 2GBDDR266/200, providing you the highest performance/price ratio with thedouble-bandwidth (2.1GB/s), high-volume and upcoming-mainstream DDR memorysolution. Incorporated Intel^® 845G chipset, GA-8IGX provides superior system busbandwidth up to 4.2GB/s. Coupling with 2.1GB/s Memory Bus bandwidth by DDRarchitecture, GA-8IGX dedicates seamless user interaction and greater systemresponsiveness, bandwidth on Hub interface supports up to 266MB/s, almost fourtimes the internal data transfer capability over previous generations. Intel^® HubArchitecture provides maximum bandwidth for I/O intensive applications. Throughnewly developed Intel^® Extreme Graphics engine in Intel® 845G, GA-8IGXPintegrates with a high-bandwidth interface for high-quality 2D, 3D, and video streams,also providing a AGP4X interface (1.5V only) for high-end professional video display card.

USB 2.0, SCR ready:GA-8IGX offers 6 USB 2.0 ports supported by ICH 4, providing the data transfer rate up to 480Mbps, 40times faster than USB 1.1. Another fantastic convenience is Smart Card Reader function support, by optional reader, GA-8IGXPtakes all advantage from their superior reliability, flexibility for future upgrade and data protection capability while processing highspeed data transfer.

Patented Dual BIOS™ technology, Excellent installation layout design and full package in overclocking from BIOS:GA-8IGX features GIGABYTE^® patented Dual BIOS™, providing a backup BIOS, that greatly reduces the risk of BIOS failure dueto virus infection and providing the desktop PC as stable as a workstation server. In addition to the usual boot devices (floppy, allkinds of IDE drives, network), you can boot from USB. Also, interrupts can be assigned freely to each PCI device. Excellentinstallation layout design for GA-8IGX achieves the greatest working efficiency and margin, naturally resulting in more stability whileperforming overclock. Additionally, GA-8IGX incorporated full package (including FSB, DDR clock and CPU, AGP, DDR voltage)setting from BIOS, no more inconvenient switch adjusting needed. A wide range of possible FSB speeds (100 to 200 MHz in 1 MHzincrements), and you can increase the CPU core voltage and the AGP voltage in small increments, offering a great variety ofoverclocking features.

Full-direction expansibility— CNR、6xPCI、and EZ-Fix™ AGP4X slot:Six PCI slots guarantee the full expandability in systemconfiguration via PCI 2.2 compliant slots. Exclusive GIGABYTE® EZ-Fix™ AGP slot offers more users friendly for preventing AGPcard from discarding.

Plating-gold ATX power connector, Multi-language BIOS, Quick Installation Guide, Face Wizard™, Easy Tune 4™,Q-Flash™ (Dual BIOS™ Utility) and @BIOS™:Gold-plated pins ATX power connector secures the power supply stability to thefine art, ensuring the GIGABYTE^® genius layout cooler and more efficient than others. With the GIGABYTE^® Face Wizard™ utility,GA-8IGX allows you to create and edit stylish boot up screen. EasyTune 4™, a Window-based overclocking utility, allows the userto overclock their systems without the need to open chassis. With detailed instructions in BIOS setup main menu, Q-Flash™ utilityallows you to flash BIOS easily under BIOS mode, without the need to flash BIOS under Windows and DOS modes. @BIOS™ isaccessible for GIGABYTE® network BIOS update tool. It allows the user to update latest BIOS via the Internet.

Enclosed IAA Driver (Intel^® Application Accelerator) and Window XP Ready:IAA accelerates not only Operating System loading time but also Disk I/O for Games, Graphics Applications, Disk Utilities, andMedia Authoring Applications, enhancing Intel^® Pentium^® 4 processor-based systemsFor further technical information, please contact our PM.
