1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology
The motherboard supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the
new SATA 3Gb/s storage specication. The onboard NVIDIA
®
nForce 430 MCP
southbridge allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD congurations
for four SATA connectors.
IEEE 1394a support
The IEEE 1394a interface provides high-speed and exible 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
ltering 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 specication,
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.
