In addition, 82P965, 82G965, 82Q965 and 82Q963 also support the following featured technologies:
(1) Intel fast memory access (Intel FMA, Intel fast memory access technology), by optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth, reduces the memory access delay time, and the updated backbone architecture of the graphics memory controller hub (GMCH, that is, the northbridge chip) improves the system performance, which can basically be said to be the continuation and upgrade of the PAT technology supported by the previous 82875P Northbridge;
(2) Intel Flexible Memory Technology (Intel FMT, Intel Flexible Memory Technology) allows different sizes of memory to be inserted, and can continue to maintain dual-channel mode, which is much more flexible than the previous restriction that memory with the same capacity and specifications must be used when dual-channel memory mode is enabled on the Intel chipset motherboard. Moreover, the original small-capacity memory must be discarded when upgrading the system memory. Using FMT technology, it is not necessary to discard the original small-capacity memory when upgrading the system memory, which reduces the upgrade cost and makes the upgrade easier.
(3) Intel silent system technology (Intel QST), the fan speed control algorithm of intelligent system will automatically adjust the fan speed according to the working temperature range of the system, so as to reduce the change of fan speed and thus reduce the perceived system noise;
(4)USB port disabling (USB port disabling technology), a single USB port can be enabled or disabled as required. This function can prevent malicious deletion or insertion of data through USB port, thus adding another layer of data protection function.
In addition, 82Q965 and 82Q963 also have special functions of digital office for business users, and support Intel Stable Image Platform Program (Intel SIPP) and Intel vPro technology. Among them, 82Q965 also supports Active Management Technology (Intel AMT), which has system defense function, supports remote and offline management of extranet system, and can help improve IT efficiency, asset management, and system security and availability regardless of system state. The "system defense" function helps to prevent software attacks from invading and isolate clients from the network when they are infected with viruses. If the key software agent is lost, IT will actively send an alarm to IT managers to meet the remote management and security requirements of business users.

Among them, the radium Xpress 200 also integrates the radium X300 display chip supporting DirectX 9.0. The radium Xpress 200 has two unique technologies. One is HyperMemory technology, which is simply to integrate the local video memory dedicated to the graphics core on the board next to the North Bridge chip of the motherboard. ATI has also made a flexible design for HyperMemory technology, which can use onboard video memory alone or share memory with the system, and use onboard video memory and system memory at the same time. The second is the "SurroundView" function, that is, adding an independent graphics card with integrated graphics core can realize the three-screen display and output function.
Then there are radium dragon Xpress 200 CrossFire(RD480), Xpress CrossFire 3200(RD580) and Xpress CrossFire 1600, all of which support 1000MHz HyperTransport frequency and PCI Express x 16 graphics card slot, and all support CrossFire multi-graphics card parallel technology.
