routing and a Quad-Triple phase power design to ensure the highest levels of
performance and stability from Quad-Core processors. With 4 cores and 2 shared
L2 caches, Quad-Core processors provide the industry's best capability-per-watt
solutions, delivering significant performance boosts and extended energy
efficiency, making them the ideal choice for multi-media enthusiasts and
intensive multi-tasking environments.
Quad SLI-Ready
Supporting NVIDIA Quad SLI™ technology, with true dual PCI
Express x16 connectivity for up to 4 of the latest NVIDIA GeForce® 8800 GPUs,
GIGABYTE Quad SLI ready motherboards provide flawlessly smooth 3D video
rendering and screamingly-fast frame rates. With an additional PCI Express x8
expansion slot, users are able to add a standalone physics graphics processor
for a significant boost of graphics performance, taking games to the next level
of hyper-realist detail and effects.
Quad Gigabit LAN
Four unique Gigabit LAN connections provide up to 4 x1GB
of bandwidth usage, allowing the PC to function as both a home gateway and game
server at the same time. Supporting NVIDIA Dual-Net Technology with NV TCP/IP
Acceleration and FirstPacket technology, GIGABYTE Quad LAN with Teaming
functionality enabled allows 2 sets of 2GB connections to each act as a single
connection for twice the bandwidth, improving overall throughput with lower CPU
utilization.
Quad-Triple Phase
An exclusive feature found only on GIGABYTE
motherboards, this unique design incorporates Virtual 12 Power Phases to deliver
steadier power and immediate current to the CPU and memory during heavy system
workloads or overclocking. Additionally, Quad Triple Phase helps decrease the
working temperatures, enhancing system stability and increasing component
lifespan.
QuadBIOS™
Quad BIOS is a unique GIGABYTE feature that includes DualBIOS™
and Xpress BIOS Rescue Technology. This combination delivers a safety assurance
mechanism that sports a total of 4 copies of BIOS distributed between the Flash
ROM, hard-disk and driver CD. This feature helps to reduce the affects of virus
attacks or firmware damage and provides multi-layer BIOS protection that assures
greater PC platform stability.
Quad e-SATA
Four sets of external SATA ports based on the Serial ATA 3Gb/s
storage specification allow effortless sharing and transfer of entertainment
content and digital media on external devices. Designed for external SATA
devices, Quad eSATA2 delivers enhanced scalability and double the bus bandwidth
for high-speed data retrieval and saving On-The-Go.
