Intel 865G
The Professional C3 is built on the Intel 865G chipset. This chipset combined with our carefully selected components deliver overwhelming power to media producers. The flexibility provides for a multitude of uses from audio recording and mixing, to video editing and DVD creation to media creation and compostion. Today's producers demand stability and speed and the C3 delivers both in excess.
The Intel® 865G chipset features support for the 800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and dual-channel DDR400 memory configurations to get incredible performance from the memory interface. Optimized to support the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology, the 865G chipset adds intelligence to help manage and prioritize multiple threads received from the microprocessor.
The 865G chipset-based platform integrates Intel® Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) featuring a Dedicated Networking Bus interface, Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and Serial ATA. An enhanced AC '97 audio implementation with dual independent DMA audio engines delivers improved sound quality and new audio usage models. The 865G chipset helps to ensure that tomorrow's most demanding applications will run optimally on Pentium 4 processor-based platforms.
