DDR2 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of 667 MHz or 533 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 10.7 GB/s. See pages 2-10 to 2-14 for details.

Dual RAID solution

Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using Serial ATA devices.

The Intel¨ ICH7-M (DH) Southbridge allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and Intel¨ Matrix Storage configuration with two Serial ATA connectors. See pages 2-27 and 5-28.

The Jmicron¨ JMB363 Serial ATA controller supports one internal and one external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s devices with RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration. See pages 2-28 and 5-36 for details.

Gigabit LAN solution

The motherboard comes with the Intel¨ 82573L Gigabit LAN controller to provide the total solution for your networking needs. This network controller uses the PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth for your wired or wireless Internet, LAN, and file sharing requirements. See page 2-24 for details.

PCI Expressª interface

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications. See page 2-18 for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 2-35 for details.
