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 exibility when increasing external FSB.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specication, 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 1-25 and 1-30 for details.
Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s technology through
the Serial ATA interfaces. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s specication 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 exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement. See
page 1-29 for details.
