Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the
motherboard supports up to 4 GB of system memory using DDR400/333
DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400 MHz memory bus delivers the required
bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
See page 1-11 for details.

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 1-16 for details.

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s technology through the
Serial ATA interfaces and the NVIDIA
®
nForce™430 MCP Southbridge. The
Serial ATA II 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 1-24 for details.
The Hot Swap function is supported only in RAID mode.
