The Intel® B65 Express Chipset is a component of the Intel 6 Series Chipset family, designed for desktop systems and compatible with second-generation Intel Core processors. Positioned as a cost-effective solution, the B65 chipset provides a balance between performance and essential features for mainstream computing needs.
One notable feature of the B65 chipset is its support for Intel® Small Business Advantage (Intel® SBA), a suite of technologies aimed at simplifying security and productivity for small businesses. It includes features like Software Monitor, Data Backup and Restore, USB Blocker, and PC Health Center, enhancing manageability and safeguarding critical data.
In terms of storage capabilities, the B65 chipset integrates Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s interfaces, supporting traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and other storage devices. Although lacking the speed of SATA 6Gb/s, it still provides sufficient bandwidth for mainstream storage requirements.
The chipset supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), contributing to improved virtualization performance. This is beneficial for users who engage in virtualized environments for tasks such as software development, testing, or running multiple operating systems simultaneously.
The B65 chipset also features Intel® Flexible Display Interface (FDI), allowing for flexible connectivity to integrated graphics. This facilitates support for multiple displays, catering to users who require enhanced productivity through multi-monitor setups.
While the B65 chipset lacks certain advanced features found in higher-end chipsets, it maintains compatibility with key technologies like Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RST) for efficient storage management and RAID configurations, enhancing data protection.
