The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and flexible PC connectivity
to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a
standards. The IEEE 1394a interface allows up to 400 Mbps transfer rates
through simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data
interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic
devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See
page 1-30 for details.

GeForce6150 chipset that supports
superior HDTV-out functionality with a higher resolution to 1080i and 720p
format, which are clearer than traditional formats allow. ASUS M2NPV-VM
motherboard bundles a HDTV-out module that helps you enjoy the high-
quality scaling and filtering 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 1-24 and 1-29 for details.
