ASUS P5MT-MX/C 1-3
PCI Express™ 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.
Gigabit LAN solution
The motherboard comes with an onboard Gigabit LAN controller to
provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom
BCM5753 controller uses the PCI Express interface with a network
throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See pages 2-21 and 2-24 for
details.
Serial ATA RAID solution
Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with RAID functionality.
The Intel ® ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configuration
for four Serial ATA connectors and supports the Intel ® Matrix Technology.
See page 2-27 and Chapter 5 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. See pages 2-20, 2-24 and 2-29 for
details.
