Overview


ROHS
GIGABYTE proudly introduced the GA-8I945P-G-RH, the world's first RoHS compliant motherboard featuring the Intel® 945P Express chipset for the Intel® Pentium® D and Pentium® 4 platforms. As the first Green Computing motherboard from GIGABYTE, the GA-8I945P-G-RH complies with the European Union's Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive that limits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and other hazardous substances in electronic products. This directive will start from July 1, 2006. The launch of the GA-8I945P-G-RH is part of the GIGABYTE Cares initiative whereby the company is striving to do its share, and more, as a member of the global community to look after the environment. 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.

Introduction
GA-8I945P-G-RH, the latest GIGABYTE i-DNA (Intelligent Dual Nano Architecture) series motherboards featuring new Intel® 945P Express chipset. Jam-packed with the industry's most advanced performance and security technologies.
The GA-8I945P-G-RH provides a broad range of peripheral connections by offering high speed Serial ATA for connection of storage devices, and USB 2.0 for high-speed data transfer. The GA-8I945P-G-RH also offers multimedia advancements through PCI-Express for outstanding graphics output, doubling that of the current AGP8X interface. For improved networking, Gigabit LAN provides LAN connection at a blazing fast network connection speed of up to 1,000 Mbps. Along with top-notch hardware is the addition of the GIGABYTE Shieldware. Shieldware includes 8 unique software feature elements that are easy to use and focused on making computing both simple and straightforward.

Intel® 945P Express Chipset
The new Intel® 945P Express chipset delivers significant performance gains with variety of new generation architectures including the latest dual core processor, dual-channel DDR2 main memory, PCI-Express interface, Intel® Matrix Storage technology for improving storage reliability and performance.

Optimized for Intel® Pentium D Processor
