ULi M1697

M1697 features a highly scalable PCI express interface at 1 x16 or 2 x 8 (4GB/sec peak bandwidth per direction) for graphics and 3 x 1 / or 1 x 4 for high speed I/O. The Hyper Transport between M1697 and the CPU delivers up to 8GB/sec for best performance.

Improvements made to M1697 includes HD Azalia audio support delivering 7.1 channel surround. Secondly, an AHCI based SATA II 3 Gbps host controller with NCQ. Thirdly, it supports RAID 0,1,0+1,5,JBOD for optimum storage and improve disk efficiency.

This chipset can also be coupled with the existing M1695 to support a Dual PCIe x16 lanes platform just like Nvidia's NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 e.g C51+CK804.
