ASUS P8P67 LX 1-2
Intel ® P67 Express Chipset
The Intel ® P67 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to
support the new 1155 socket Intel ® Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3
second generation processors. It uses serial point-to-point links, which
allows increased bandwidth and stability, and provides an improved
performance. It also provides two SATA 6.0 Gb/s and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s
ports for faster data retrieval at double the bandwidth of current bus
systems.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) /
1600(O.C.) / 1333 / 1066MHz support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer
rates of 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600(O.C.) / 1333 /
1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D
graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3
architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost
system performance.
ATI ® CrossFireX™ Technology
ATI’s CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed,
eliminating the need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality
images. CrossFireX™ allows higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering,
shading, and texture settings. Adjust your display configurations,
experiment with the advanced 3D settings, and check the effects with a
real-time 3D-rendered previews within ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.
True Serial ATA 6Gb/s support
The Intel ® P67 Express Chipset natively supports the Serial ATA (SATA)
interface, delivering up to 6.0Gb/s data transfer with enhanced scalability,
faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
USB 3.0 support
Experience ultra-fast data transfer at 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0 – the latest
connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation
components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10 times faster and
is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.
PCI Express 2.0 support
This motherboard supports PCI Express 2.0 devices for double speed
and bandwidth which enhances system performance.
S/PDIF out connector at the back I/O
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home
theater audio systems via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital
Interface) out connecor at the back I/O. The S/PDIF transfers digital audio
without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.
