1.3 Special features 1.3.1 Product Highlights Latest processor technology The AMD Athlon™ 64 desktop processor is based on AMD's 64-bit architecture, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry's first x86-64 technology. This processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development. HyperTransport™ Technology HyperTransport™ Technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, networking and telecommunicatons equipment up to 48 times faster than other existing technologies. AMD Cool 'n' Quiet!™ Technology The motherboard supports the AMD Cool 'n' Quiet!™ Technology that dynamically and automatically changes the CPU speed, voltage and amount of power depending on the task the CPU performs. Serial ATA solution The motherboard supports four interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA) specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface. The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. Dual Serial ATA RAID The motherboard provides two high-performance Serial ATA RAID controllers that enhance hard disk performance and data backup protection without the cost of additional RAID cards. The Promise® 20378 RAID controller incorporates two Serial ATA and one parallel connector with RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 functions while the onboard VIA VT8237 RAID controller provides an additional two Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
