Desktop PC Platforms with the Intel G31 Express chipset, combined with either the Intel Core Duo or the Intel Core Quad processor, deliver new technologies and innovating capabilities for consumers.

The Intel G31 Express Chipset supports Intel upcoming 45mm processors, enabling a scalable platform for value conscious consumers. With a 1333 MHz system bus, DDR2 memory and support for Windows Vista Premium, the Intel G31 Express chipset enables scalability and performance for everyday computing.

Supports the Intel Core Duo and the Intel Core Quad Processors

The PCI Express 1.1 provides 8GB/s bandwidth for platform graphics.

Updated Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) backbone architecture that improves system performance by optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth and reducing the latency of the memory accesses.

Delivers up to 12.8GB/s (DDR2 800 dual 6.4GB/s) of bandwidth and 4GB memory addressability for faster system responsiviness and support of 64-bit computing.

Facilities easier upgrades by allowing different memory sizes to be populated and remain in dual-channel mode.

3D enhancements enable greter flexibility and scalability and improved realism with support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 2.0 , OpenGL 1.4 Intel Graphics also support the highest levels of the Windows Vista Aero experience.
