192KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions and multi-

multi-channel network games. All of these are done on one computer.
Gigbit LAN
The NVIDIA native Gigabit LAN controller delivers transfer speeds up to ten
times faster than conventional 10/100 Ethernet connections. Gigabit LAN is the

data such as video, audio, and voice.
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF interfaces
on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end
entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker
systems. See pages 2-21 and 2-24 for details.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification,
dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB
1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
