Sep 20, 2001
GA-8IDX3, the masterpiece withnewly released Intel 845 chipset, offersinnovative design, support for high-volumeSDRAM memory, and configurationoptions that optimize performance andprovide a robust, mainstream platform forthe Intel– Pentium 4 processor in 423 pin.Once again, leading manufacture amongthe cluster, Gigabyte successfullylaunches GA-8IDX3 with numerouslygenius designs and utilities you havenever seen.

Based on Intel 845 Chipset, GA-8IDX3 was designed to create a mainstreamPentium 4 Socket 423 platform empowering higher performance for SDRAM. Intellatest integrated peripheral controller, ICH2, supports ATA33/66/100 IDE devices,dramatically boost overall system performance. Three DIMM memory slots providehigh-volume SDRAM memory supporting up to 3GB PC133/100 SDRAM. In addition,admirable configuration such as one AGP 4X slot, one CNR slot and especially sixPCI slots is viewed as the best features for future expansion. GA-8IDX3 alsocomes with on board AC97 codec, enabling great sound experience. Four USBconnectors provide full-expandability in connecting with additional peripherals.Ingenious design in CPU socket direction not only can efficiently lower CPUtemperature but also effectively cool key components such as Mosfet, SDRAMDRAM and capacitor. This design plays an important role in delivering a stable andreliable desktop platform solution to support high frequency and best performancecomputer system.

Rich in overclocking functionalities, 8IDX3 is ideal for those powerful user withits adjustable system bus speed, frequency ratio and Vcore voltage . Furthermore,the following patented technology is the genius innovation originated by Gigabyte:
Q-Flash Utility 捯 Flash BIOS is an inevitable step whenever system upgradedrequired. However, the complicated BIOS flash procedures always annoy theexperienced users. Q-Flash utility allows you to flash the BIOS easily without underWindows and DOS modes, just follow the simple instructions in BIOS setup mainmenu.

GA-8IDX3 is designed, validated and optimized for the Pentium 4 423-pinprocessor with today's high-volume and well-established PC133 SDRAM memorytechnology, providing you the most cost-effective and scalable way to usher youstepping in Pentium 4 field.
