The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer
rates of 533/400 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the
latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel
DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost
system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up
to 8.5 GB/s. The motherboard also allows you to overclock DDR2-533
DIMMs up to 600 MHz while maintaining the CPU Front Side Bus at 800
MHz*. See pages 2-13 and 4-19 for details.
* Visit the ASUS website for the list of qualified DDR2-533 DIMMS that support 600 MHz
frequency.

Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel
®
ICH6R. The SATA specification allows for thinner,
more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and
up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate.
