Intel DX48BT2 Extreme Series Motherboard


The Intel DX48BT2, formerly codenamed Bone Trail, is targeted at enthusiasts and gamers.It is the first Intel board to support 1,600MHz frontside bus (FSB) — the interconnect between processor and RAM — for even faster memory access and extra room for overlocking.The Intel DX48BT2 will support the latest Core 2 Extreme processors, including the new quad and dual-core chips, as it utilises the X48 Express chipset.Of the four memory sockets, two support up to 4GB memory at a whopping 1,600MHz speed but if all four sockets are used the board will support up to 8GB but at slower speeds of 1,333/1,066/800MHz.Gamers will have a lot of ports at their disposal as the board has two Firewire ports, 12 USB ports, three PCI-e slots (of which two are full-speed PCI-e 2.0 slots), 2 PCI expansion slots, and six SATA 3.0 Gbps (gigabits per second) ports.The board also supports Intel Matrix Storage Technology which allows multiple hard disks to be used in a RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) configuration either for faster speed or increased reliability.
