SIS Advanced HyperStreaming™ Architecture

The motherboard supports the SIS HyperStreaming™ technology that
smartly manages data streaming between the Northbridge and
Southbridge, memory, graphics interface, and other peripherals for efficient
and superior performance.

SIS Ultra-AGPII™ Technology

Outstanding graphics performance is achieved with the Ultra-AGPII™
technology that enables a VGA throughput of 3.2GB/s with DDR400
significantly increasing the 2.1GB/s speed provided by AGP8X.

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the SIS 964 chipset. The SATA specification allows for
thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-25 for
details.

Onboard RAID solution

The onboard SIS 964 chipset allows RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration for two
SATA connectors.

AI Audio

The motherboard comes with the Realtek

ALC655 audio CODEC that lets

you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced
sound cards. It also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals
into the audio ports and identifies any incompatible devices. See page 1-23
for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF
interfaces at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a
high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and
speaker systems. See page 1-26 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 page 1-28 for details.
