Dual RAID solution
Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID
functionality that allows you to select the best RAID solution using IDE or
Serial ATA devices.
The NVIDIA
®
nForce4
®
SLI™ allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and
JBOD configuration for four SATA 3 Gb/s and two PATA connectors. See
pages 2-32 and 5-24.
The Silicon Image
®
3132 controller supports two additional Serial ATA
3Gb/s connectors and allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD configurations
through the internal and external Serial ATA ports. See pages 2-33 and
5-31 for details.

The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers to provide the
total solution for your networking needs. These network controllers use the
PCI Express segment to provide faster data bandwidth for your wired or
wireless Internet, LAN, and file sharing requirements. See page 2-28 for
details.

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 pages 2-24 and 2-25 for details.

This feature allows you to adjust the CPU multiplier to 14x. Setting the
appropriate BIOS setting automatically reduces the CPU multiplier value for
more flexibility when increasing external FSB. See page 4-19 for details.

The motherboard supports the S/PDIF technology through the S/PDIF
interfaces on the rear panel and at midboard. The S/PDIF technology turns
your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity
to powerful audio and speaker systems. See page 2-29 for details.
