Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology

This motherboard supports hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA)

3Gb/s storage specifications, delivering enhanced salability and doubling

the bus bandwidth for high-speed data saving and retrieval.

8-channel high definition audio

The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously

codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio

output and jack-detect feature that automatically detects and identifies

what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies

users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more

confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.

HDMI support

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a set of digital video

standards that deliver multi-channel digital audio and uncompressed

digital video for full HD 1080p visuals through a single cable. Supporting

HDCP copy protection such as HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, HDMI

provides you with the highest-quality home theater experience.

Dual VGA output

This motherboard supports dual display output on digital HDMI/DVI and

analog D-Sub. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) provides high quality visuals

for digital display devices like LCD monitors.
