NVIDIA SLI

NVIDIA SLiTM 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. Get unmatched PC security protection, reliable NVIDIA nForce Storage, and more. NVIDIA nForce4 SLI MCPs set the performance bar that other PCs can only dream of reaching

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.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system opera- tion 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.
