ADI SoundMAX High-Definition audio
The onboard 6-channel AD1986A High Definition audio CODEC enables
high-quality audio which automatically detects and identifies what type of
peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks. It also notifies the user of
inappropriate connection. See pages 1-21 and 1-22 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 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
pages 1-24 for details.

dynamically and automatically changes the CPU speed, voltage and amount
of power depending on the task the CPU performs.

the motherboard supports up to 4GB of system memory using
DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the
required bandwidth for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet
applications. See page 1-12.
