Serial.ATA.3Gb/s.technology. ......
The motherboard supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the
new SATA 3Gb/s storage specification. The onboard NVIDIA ® nForce 430 MCP
southbridge allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD configurations
for four SATA connectors.
IEEE 1394a support
The IEEE 1394a interface 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 page 1-30 for details.
HDTV output ...
The motherboard features the NVIDIA ® GeForce6150 chipset that supports
superior HDTV-out functionality with a higher resolution to 1080i and 720p format,
which are clearer than traditional formats allow. ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard
bundles a HDTV-out module that helps you enjoy the high-quality scaling and
filtering technology.
Gigabit LAN solution ..
NVIDIA ® Gb LAN controller delivers transfer speeds up to ten times faster than
conventional 10/100 Ethernet connections. Gigabit LAN is the networking standard
for the early future and is ideal for handling large amounts of data such as video,
audio, and voice.
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.
