PCI Express™ interface The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications. See page 2-18 for details. Gigabit LAN solution The motherboard comes with an onboard Gigabit LAN controller to provide a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Broadcom BCM5753 controller uses the PCI Express interface with a network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth. See pages 2-21 and 2-24 for details. Serial ATA RAID solution Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with RAID functionality. The Intel® ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configuration for four Serial ATA connectors and supports the Intel® Matrix Technology. See page 2-27 and Chapter 5 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 2-20, 2-24 and 2-29 for details. ASUS P5MT-MX/C 1-3
