PCCHIPS announces the Tidalwave T18, an excellent solution for the latest LGA775 Intel P4 HT & Prescott 800MHz FSB processor.
The brand new T18, based on the latest Intel®915P/ICH6 chipsets, carries new generation architecture and delivers valuable platform with great performance for entry-level or mainstream Pentium 4 systems.
The PCCHIPS Tidalwave T18 is designed for maximum value. The T18 is the latest motherboard of PCCHIPS Tidalwave series, which feature Smart Technology and unique technology advancements. PCCHIPS Tidalwave series includes Install Alert power warning, Highly Compatible Circuitry, Internet Accelerator for enhanced throughput, advanced Over Clocking capabilities. Pro-Audio Circuitry for breathtaking sound, ExtremeAGP for consistently smooth, super fast graphics, PowerProtector for increased stability and Pro-Guard for CPU protection. Incorporating advanced technologies such as AGPro, DDR2 533/DDR400, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN and Serial ATA, just to name a few, the T18 provides more bandwidth and faster system connectivity for the most demanding tasks.
Besides supporting the LGA775 Intel® P4 HT& Prescott processor and 800MHz FSB, the T18, with its dual-channel DDR & DDR2 architecture, features one of the fastest system buses available and balances data transfer loading between the CPU and memory. The T18 provides a more flexible memory usage for users to select DDR400 or DDR2 533. This complete framework creates a faultless platform.
For scalability, the T18 provides an onboard range of peripheral connections by offering three IDE and USB 2.0 ports for high-speed data transfer as well as high speed Serial ATA for connection of storage devices. With IDE RAID modes 0+1 supported, users can effectively double hard drive performance (striping) and failsafedata backup (mirroring). The T18 is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data back up protection without the cost of add-on cards.
The PCCHIPS Tidalwave T18 includes many innovative features especially designed for user friendliness. Intel®915P chipset marks an important technology transition from AGP to PCI Express for graphics cards. Taking advantage of the Intel®915P's advanced chipset architecture, the T18 supports both an PCI Express×16 slot and an AGPro slot. With this innovative technology, our customers don't have to throw away the AGP VGA cards. The T18 offers a wide range of choice to users for selecting AGP8X or PCI-E VGA cards flexibly. Better yet, users can upgrade to experience “Dual Graphic Engines ” for using both AGP8X and PCI-Ex16 VGA cards.
PCCHIPS T18, a value-oriented motherboard, is developed to meet your requirements and designed with leading product features without sacrificing demanded performance and quality.
What is AGPro?
AGPro is a patented PCCHIPS design, which has the backward compatibility with the VGA interface. The 915P chipset is originally designed to not support any AGP graphics cards. With AGPro engineered in, users can prolong the usage of the standard AGP 8X, and have the flexibility to experience the latest PCI Express platform as well. Better yet, the Dual VGA functions can work at the same time, which enable the “Dual Graphic Engines” function to benefit users.
