PCIe 2.0

This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 device for twice the current speed

and bandwidth. This enhances system performance while still providing backward

compatibility to PCIe 1.0 devices. See page 2-25 for details.

Native DDR2 1066 memory support

To attain top performance, ASUS engineers have successfully unleashed the

true potential of DDR2 memory. While in DDR2 1066 mode, ASUS’s exclusive

technology offers a choice of FSB 1333, providing great performance for 3D

graphics and other memory demanding applications. See page 2-17 for details.

Dual-channel DDR2 800 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of

800/667 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 12.8 GB/s. Furthermore, this

motherboard does not restrict the memory size across two channels. Users may

install different memory size DIMMs into the two channels and enjoy dual�channel

and single�channel functions at the same time. This new feature optimizes the use

of available memory size. See page 2�17 for details.

ASUS Super Memspeed Technology

To attain top performance, ASUS has managed to break through current FSB

and DRAM ratio proportions by utilizing Super Memspeed Technology–the latest

technology that provides even more precise overclocking options to unleash the

true potential of DDR2 memory. The DDR2 Mode maximizes system performance

by eliminating the bottleneck when overclocking both the CPU and memory–

providing great performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding

applications. See page 2-17 for details.

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s technology

This motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial

ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and

doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. See page

2-33 for details.
