l Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
Part of the NVIDIA Forceware unified software environment (USE). The
NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software
drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA
products work with the same driver software.
l HyperTransport Technology
A state of the art I/O bus interface, delivering the highest continuous
throughput—800MB/s—between the nForce platform processors. Ensures data
and information are relayed through the system as quickly as possible.
l Serial ATA
Next-generation storage technology enables easy-to-install, high-performance,
low-power hard drives.
l NVIDIA nForce Networking
NVIDIA networking delivers the highest throughput for network transfers and
lower CPU utilization. The manageable and stable NVIDIA networking solution
results in better networking performance and a lower total cost of ownership.
l NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Software Environment (USE)
Ensures the best out-of-box experience for every user by delivering
industry-leading features for graphics, audio, video, communications, storage,
and security; one driver for all products; and continual performance and feature
updates over the life of the product.
l USB 2.0
A standard plug and play interface providing easy-to-use connectivity for USB
devices.
l NVIDIA ActiveArmor ( for NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra only)
Enhances network security while delivering the highest system performance by
offloading CPU-intensive packet filtering tasks in hardware, providing users with
a PC networking environment that is both fast and secure. Only supported in the
NVIDIA nForce4 SLI and Ultra MCPs.
l SATA 3Gb/s ( for NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra only)
Doubles bus bandwidth and provides blazingly high disk performance. Only
supported in the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI and Ultra MCPs.
