Overview
Introduction
The Gigabyte GA-VT890P motherboard features VIA PT890 Pro and 8237A chipset supporting Intel Core™2 Duo processor which enables excellent overall system performance and stability. GA-VT890P comes with 1066MHz Front Side Bus and DDR2 667 memory architecture supports are able to largely enhance system performance. It also provides a variety of features such as Serial ATA, USB 2.0 ports, 8-channel HD audio, 10/100 Ethernet connection, and a high-speed Ultra ATA133 interface.

Windows® Vista™ Basic Supported
Windows® Vista™ Basic promises to deliver a streamlined computing experience designed to fundamentally change how users view, find and organize their digital information. With Intel LGA775 solutions all enabling support for Vista Basic, GIGABYTE offers a fresh and unique desktop.

Intel Next-Generation Core™2 Duo Processor
Leading the silicon process technology from 90nm to 65nm, the Intel new-generation CPU transistors deliver more energy-efficient performance than anyone. Based on the Intel's next generation Micro Architecture, the Intel Core ™2 Duo processor with two cores and shared L2 caches provides the best capability-per-watt solutions. The cutting-edge processor the significant performance boosts and better energy efficient platform.


Supports DDR2 667/533 memory architecture
Available with 2 DIMM slots supporting up to 4GB of DDR2 667 memory, GA-VT890P provides the highest performance platform with the high-bandwidth (4.2GB/s) DDR2 memory solution.

Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1 function
Serial ATA is the revolutionary ATA interface that provides scalable performance for IDE device. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA and delivers superior input/output performance. In addition, the Serial ATA interface is furnished with RAID 0,1 function for extra performance enhancement and data protection.

10/100 Ethernet Connection
The onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection offers a cost-saving and reliable solution for value-minded users requiring straightforward network connectivity.

Intel® High Definition Audio
Intel® High Definition Audio enables premium digital sound in the PC for an immersive surround sound experience. In addition, Intel HD Audio delivers multiple audio channels in your PC so you can listen to two different streams simultaneously in two separate rooms.

RoHS compliant
As a member of the global community to look after the environment, Gigabyte complies with the European Union's Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive which limits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and other hazardous substances in electronic products.. From components and material selection to production processes, make up of accessories, packaging/color boxes etc; GIGABYTE has carefully examined and designed this product to be 100% RoHS compliant. GIGABYTE will continue to develop RoHS compliant PC components and commit valuable resources to promoting and advancing RoHS directive goals and objectives.
