The board supports 2
IDE channels and 4 SATA II 3Gb/s RAID 0,1,0+1,5 ports. There are 8 USB ports (4
via rear panel). There are two LAN ports, one Fast Ethernet and the other a GbE.
8 Channel Audio is also supported through ALC850. The board
also comes with 2 x PCIex16 slots, it should be able to be configured into 1 x
PCIex16 or 2 x PCIe x8. Will it be able to do SLI or CrossFire, that remains to
be seen.
