Introduction
S/PDIF
having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the
quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as
a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on
the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-
puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like
CD recorders.
SERIAL ATA
1.5Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the stand-
ard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
gigabit lan

and peripheral devices. The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specifi-
cation supports data transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1
meter.
USB
while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-
puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug
and Play peripherals.
wake-on-ring
wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external mo-
dem or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI
PME (Power Management Event) signal to remotely wake up the
PC.
