and multi-streaming capability, and an
integrated Intel® PRO 10/100/1000
Network Connection in a low-power design.
The Intel Desktop Board DH61AG supports
1.5 V (standard voltage) as well as 1.35 V (low
voltage) JEDEC-compliant SO-DIMM memory.
Two back panel SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports
address the needs of higher performance
connections between the PC and increas-
ingly sophisticated peripherals by offering a
higher transferring rate of 5.0 Gb/s. There
are also two USB 2.0 connectors which are
designed to support Hi-Current and fast
charging of external devices.

Turbo Boost Technology—maximum single-core turbo frequency
(GHz). Intel Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology
performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system
configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system
delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/
turboboost for more information.
