Onboard is the ADI AD1988B High Definition Audio 8-channel audio CODEC.
This CODEC is fully-compliant with Intel
® High Definition Audio standard
(192 KHz, 24-bit audio). With the CODEC, 8-channel audio ports, and S/
PDIF interfaces, you can connect your computer to home theater decoders
to produce crystal-clear digital audio.

The motherboard supports the IEEE 1394a interface that 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 pages 2-33 and
2-38 for details.

interfaces 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 2-33 for details.
PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface PCI Express™ interface 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 specifications. See page 2-23 for details.
USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 technology USB 2.0 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 2-33 and 2-38 for details.
