Intel 955X+ICH7R Chipset CombinationSupporting Intel dual-core processors, the Intel 955X Express Chipset represents the pinnacle in Intel's desktop performance platforms. The 955X also features advanced PCIe x16 graphics card support, Intel Memory Pipeline Technology (MPT) and 8GB memory with ECC support. The ICH7R provides HD Audio support and SATA 3Gb/s ports with Intel Matrix Storage Technology support.
PATA RAID and Dual SATA RAIDThe onboard Silicon Image Sil3114 and the ICH7R chipset provide a great solution to your RAID requirements on different storage standards. The ICH7R chipset supports RAID 0/1/5/10 on 4 SATA 3Gb/s ports, and the Silicon Image Sil3114 controller offers 4 additional SATA interfaces allowing RAID 0 and RAID 1. In addition, this board also features an ITE chip to provide two additional IDE/PATA interfaces with RAID support.
Industry Leading IEEE 1394b MotherboardThis motherboard features the next generation IEEE 1394b interface from Texas Instruments (TI) to provide up to 800Mb/s transfer speeds for further enhanced PC connectivity with consumer electronic audio/video (A/V) appliances and storage peripherals.
Dual Gigabit LANThe two onboard Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers feature fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical-Layer (PHY) functions. One of them even utilizes the PCIe architecture designed for high-performance and low-memory latency to ensure full Gigabit network bandwidth.
SuperBoot and SuperRecoverySuperBoot reduces computer boot time by storing values during the system's initial boot up sequence and uses them in subsequent boot ups. SuperRecovery enables a "hidden (hard drive) partition" to store and recover BIOS CMOS setup configurations, partition tables, and more.
