667 MHz or 533 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
10.7 GB/s. See pages 2-10 to 2-14 for details.

Dual RAID solution

Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using Serial
