PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With smaller slot size
and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus
bottleneck.
NVIDIA SLI
NVIDIA SLi
TM
technology revolutionizes PC performance by combining multiple PCI Express GPUs in a single
and scalable system! Gamers and hardcore enthusiasts know that dual GPUs mean increased, supercharged
3D graphics and performance.
DDRII
DDRII ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDRII memory offers faster speed, higher data
bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.
Dual Channel
Supports dual channel of DDRII memory to give you twice the memory bandwidth for greater system
performance.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and status. This
includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
Dual GbE LAN
Onboard two Gigabit-LAN controllers. This twin set of Gigabit-LAN breaks traditional bandwidth barrier,
delivering maximum 1000Mbps between internal and external network.
Serial ATA II
S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to 300MB/sec. It
supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices.
SATA RAID
RAID function available on chipset’s SATA II ports, RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 by NV driver support.
More S-ATA II (Optional)
An extra S-ATA II controller is added to allow for more S-ATA II ports expansion in the form of JMicron’s
JMB363 complete with RAID function.
e-SATA (Optional)
With this new standard, you can now hot-plug external SATA drives to your system similar to USB devices.
With transfer speed up to 6 times faster than USB2.0, RAID capabillity and Port Multiplier function, e-SATA
brings unseen before performance to storage out of the box. This function is available only on S-ATA II ports
from JMicron’s JMB363 controller.
USB2.0
A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while maintaining
backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
8ch
Delivers 8 channel audio to bring you the latest in audio realism from DVD movies and games. Perfect for your
home theatre system.
