Flash ROM can be re-programmed by electronic signals. It is easier for BIOS to upgrade by a flash utility, but it is also easier to be
infected by virus. Because of increase of new functions, BIOS size is increased from 64KB to 512KB (4M bit).

Hyper-Threading technology is an innovative design from Intel that enables multi-threaded software applications to process threads
in parallel within each processor resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resources. As a result, an average
improvement of ~40% in CPU resource utilization yields higher processing throughput.

IEEE 1394, which also called Firewire, is a serial data transfer protocol and interconnection system. The main feature of the
Firewire that assures its adoption for the digital video and audio (A/V) consumer application is its low cost. Fire wire interface is
capable of supporting various high-end digital A/V applications, such as consumer A/V device control and signal routing, Digital
Video (DV) editing, home networking, and more than 32 channels of digital mixing. Gone are those days of expensive video
capture cards. Firewire allows for video capture from both newer DV camcorders with Firewire ports and older analog equipment
using A/V to Firewire converters.
The advantages of the IEEE1394:
High data transfer rate – Start from 400 Mbps, (with 800/1600/3200 Mbps coming soon), which is about 30 times faster than USB
1.1.
Supports up to 63 devices (16 - daisy chained) with cable length up to about 4.5 m (14 feet).
Hot-pluggable (like USB). No need to turn of your device to connect or disconnect, and you don't need to reboot your PC. Also, it is
a plug-and-play bus.
IEEE1394 is very easy to connect (Like USB1.1/2/0).
