bandwidth up to 3.2 GB/s to provide enhanced system performance.
(Note: PC3200 maximum to 2 DIMMs only. Visit the ASUS website for the latest
qualified DDR400 module list.)
AGP 8X support
AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables
enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. With
a bus of 533Mhz, AGP 8X is twice as fast as AGP 4X.
Serial ATA technology
Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable
performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, SATA
is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility.
AI NET solution
The 3Com ® 3C940 Gigabit PCI LAN controller chipset is onboard to provide a
single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications. The 3C940
controller integrates 32-bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Media Access
Control (IEEE 802.3 compliant) and Physical Layer Transceiver solution to support
high performance network applications. The controller is equipped with the net-
diagnosing utility, VCT (Virtual Cable Tester), that intelligently diagnoses and
reports cable faults from a remote location up to 100 meters. This feature helps
maintain a more stable network connection.
