Dual RAID solution

Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or
Serial ATA devices.

The NVIDIA

nForce4

PRO allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD

configuration for four SATA and two PATA connectors. See page 2-23 for
details.

The Sil3114R controller supports four additional SATA connectors and
allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and a software patch to support RAID 5.
See pages 2-24 for details.

Audio technology

The motherboard supports 8-channel audio through the onboard ALC850
CODEC with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible
multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. It also provides
Jack-Sensing function, S/PDIF out support, interrupt capability and includes
the Realtek

proprietary UAJ

(Universal Audio Jack) technology. See

pages2-21 for details.

S/PDIF digital sound ready

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF Out function through the S/PDIF
interfaces on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into
a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio
and speaker systems. See page 2-21 for details.

IEEE 1394a support

The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity
to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to the IEEE 1394a
standard. The IEEE 1394a interface allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates
through simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data
interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic
devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. See
pages 2-20 and 2-26 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 pages 2-21 and 2-26 for details.
