ASUS P5L 1394 1-3
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial
ATA interfaces and Intel
®
ICH7 southbridge. The SATA specication allows
for thinner, more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage
requirement, and up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-25 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 specications. See page 2‑19 for details.
6-channel high definition audio
Onboard is the Realtek
®
High Denition 6‑channel audio CODEC. This CODEC
is fully-compliant with Intel
®
High Denition Audio standard (192KHz, 24‑bit
audio). With the CODEC, 6-channel audio ports, and S/PDIF interfaces, you
can connect your computer to home theater decoders to produce crystal-
clear digital audio.
The Realtek
®
High Denition audio CODEC comes with a software application
that features jack detection to monitor the plugging status of each jack,
impedance sensing to determine audio device classes, and pre‑dened
equalizaion for various audio devices. See pages 2-22 to 2-23, and 5-10 for
details.
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the coaxial
S/PDIF Out port on the rear panel. The S/PDIF technology turns your
computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to
powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 2-23 for details.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specication, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the
12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a faster 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0
is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-23 and 2-27 for details.
