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® SLI™ allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD configuration for four SATA 3 Gb/s and two PATA connectors. See pages 2-32 and 5-24. The Silicon Image® 3132 controller supports two additional Serial ATA 3Gb/s connectors and allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configurations through the internal and external Serial ATA ports. See pages 2-33 and 5-31 for details. Dual Gigabit LAN solution The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers to provide the total solution for your networking needs. These network controllers use the PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth for your wired or wireless Internet, LAN, and file sharing requirements. See page 2-28 for details. 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 pages 2-24 and 2-25 for details. 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. See page 4-19 for details. Only Intel® Pentium® 4 processors (formerly code-named Prescott) 6xx series built on the 90-nm technology support this feature. S/PDIF digital sound ready The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful audio and speaker systems.
