Does the motherboard support a multi-core processor? Yes. 2. What chipset is used? North Bridge: Intel X58 Express Chipset South Bridge: Intel ICH10R 3. How many PCI slots are on the motherboard? 2 x PCI slots 4. What form factor does this motherboard use? ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 24.4cm 5. What processor can be used on this motherboard? Support for an Intel CoreTM i7 series processor in the LGA 1366 package (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.) L3 cache varies with CPU 6. What is the speed of Intels QPI? 4.8GT/s / 6.4GT/s 7. What type of CPU Socket does the motherboard have? LGA 1366 or Socket B 8. How many and of what type of PCIe slots are there? 1 x PCI Express x8 slot, running at x8 (PCIEX8_1) (Note 3) (The PCIEX16_1, PCIE16_2 and PCIEX8_1 slots support 2-Way/3-Way NVIDIA SLI/ATI CrossFireXTM technology and conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.) 1 x PCI Express x4 slot 1 x PCI Express x1 slot 9. What type of memory does this motherboard accept?

6 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 24 GB of system memory (Note 1) Dual/3 channel memory architecture Support for DDR3 2100/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules 10. Does this motherboard have an integrated IEEE 1394 port? Yes. 11. How many USB Ports does the motherboard have? Integrated in the South Bridge Up to 12 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (8 on the back panel, 4 via the USB brackets connected to the internal USB headers) 12. Write the URL where you found the motherboard information. http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manu al_ga-ex58-ud5(p)_e.pdf 13. Find a vendor for the motherboard who accepts an AMD Phenom 11 x4 quad-core processor. Write the vendors name and the URL where you found this information. Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, EVGA are all board vendors who support that processor. You are looking for an AM2+ compatible motherboard for this. (from http://www.computerforums.org/forums/hardware/motherboar d-accepts-amd-phenom-ii-x4-quad-core-processor-213586.html) 14. Find an Internet Site that describes the difference between the Northbridge and the Southbridge, and write a brief description of each term. Difference between Southbridge and Northbridge: North and south bridge refer to the data channels to the CPU, memory and Hard disk data goes to CPU using the Northbridge. And the mouse, keyboard, CD ROM external data flows to the CPU using the Southbridge. The Northbridge is the portion of the chipset HUB that connects faster I/O buses (for example, an AGP bus) to the system bus. Northbridge SI also bigger looking then the Southbridge chip. The

Southbridge is the HUB that connects to slower I/O buses (for example, An ISA bus) to the system bus.

The Northbridge and the Southbridge are known as the chipset on the motherboard. These set of chips collectively control the memory cache, external bus, and some peripherals. There is a fast end of the hub, and there is a slow end of the hub. The fast end of the hub is the Northbridge, containing the graphics and memory controller connecting to the system bus. The slower end of the hub is the Southbridge, containing the I/O controller hub. Northbridge: The Northbridge is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a PCmotherboard, the other being the Southbridge. In Intel chipset systems it is named memory controller hub (MCH) or integrated memory controller (IMCH) if equipped with an integrated VGA. Separating the chipset into the Northbridge and Southbridge is common, although there are rare instances where these two chips have been combined onto one die when design complexity and fabrication processes permit it. Southbridge: The Southbridge is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a PCmotherboard, the other being the Northbridge. The Southbridge typically implements the "slower" capabilities of the motherboard in Northbridge /Southbridge chipset computer architecture. In Intel chipset systems theSouthbridge is named Input/Output Controller Hub (ICH).
