Socket LGA 775 platform

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel P45 chipset and accepts LGA 775 processors. It targets builders who want a basic board for older Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad CPUs. It is not suited for anyone needing modern socket compatibility or current-generation processor support.

DDR2 memory ceiling

The board supports up to 16 GB of DDR2 memory across its slots. That headroom covers typical multitasking and period-correct gaming workloads. It runs out for users who want more than 16 GB or who plan to run memory-intensive virtualisation or content-creation tasks.

Minimal accessory bundle

The package includes the motherboard, a single SATA cable and the chassis I/O back panel. A metal battery is also supplied to maintain CMOS settings. No additional cables, brackets or software discs are provided, so buyers must source any extra SATA cables, fan adapters or installation hardware separately.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 775 socket accept the same Core 2 Quad processor I already own?

The board uses the LGA 775 socket, so any processor built for that socket will fit physically; check the processor's own specifications for electrical compatibility with the Intel P45 chipset.

How can I confirm the DDR2 memory is running at the full 16 GB capacity after installation?

Enter the BIOS on first boot and verify the reported memory size shows 16 GB; the POST screen will also list the total detected memory before the operating system loads.

The listing mentions only a SATA cable and I/O shield — do I need to buy a CMOS battery separately?

The package includes the motherboard, one SATA cable, the chassis I/O back panel and a metal battery, so no separate CMOS battery purchase is required.
