Chapter 1: Product introduction

CPU Lock Free

This feature allows you to adjust the CPU multiplier to 14x. Setting the

appropriate BIOS setting automatically reduces the CPU multiplier value for

more flexibility when increasing external FSB.

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 1-25 and 1-30 for details.

Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s technology through

the Serial ATA interfaces. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s specification provides

twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of

new features, including Native Command Queueing (NCQ), and Power

Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm. Serial ATA allows for thinner,

more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement. See

page 1-29 for details.
