gigabyte 8gdm-ch2 rev 1.03
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The GIGABYTE 8GDM-CH2 revision 1.03 motherboard is built around the Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 CPU platform paired with the GMCH GRANTSDALE graphics and memory controller hub, supporting AGP 4X graphics architecture. The system uses the ICH6 southbridge for PCI, USB, DMI, LAN, IDE, GPIO, SATA, and controller functions. Memory is configured as DDR SDRAM across two channels, each with a single DIMM slot. The embedded controller is an ITE8712HX, and audio codec options include ALC655, CMI9761A, or ADI1888. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8110S or RTL8100C LAN/WLAN IC. The charging/power management IC is an ISL6537ACR-TR. A Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 FireWire controller provides card reader functionality. The board revision history documents modifications for loadline support, heatsink changes, and second source component additions.
