DDR2
DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers faster speed,
higher data bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.
GLI mode (Graphics Link Interface)
GLI mode allows two PCI-Express VGA cards to be installed on the same mainboard to enjoy
dual display experience. With this technology you can expand your desktop space across two
monitors and have independent display on each monitor.
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.
Jumper Configurable PCI-Express
This mainboard is cleverly designed with a jumper configurable PCI-Express slot that lets user
select the bandwidth required. This allows high speed PCI-E devices such as RAID controller or
VGA cards to be supported on this mainboard.
Dual Channel
Supports dual channel of DDR2 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.
GbE LAN
The new Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows data transmission at 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps),
which runs 10 times faster than conventional 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LANs.
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.
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.
