SiS HyperStreaming Architecture
®
The SiS 655FX integrates the latest HyperStreaming Engine which greatly
improves computer system performance. The HyperStreaming Engine smartly
manages the data streaming to flow smoothly from the peripherals to the core logic
chipsets between the North and South bridge to the Front Side Bus, memory and
graphic interface.
Serial ATA solution with RAID 0, RAID 1 support
The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA)
specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface.
The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin
count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and
software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. With the integrated controller in the
SIS 964 chipset, the motherboard supports RAID0, RAID1 configuration using
SATA drives. See pages 1-23.

for wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card bundles the exclusive Software
AP (Access Point) to save the extra cost of a stand-alone AP. In addition, the card
comes with user-friendly utilities and applications that allow quick connection to
notebooks, PDAs and other wireless LAN peripherals. The proprietary slot
supports the 802.11g standard for future upgrades. See page 1-24.

The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
