   The SATA specification doubles bus bandwidth from 1.5Gb/s to 3Gb/s. 
   Native Command Queuing is a new specification that enables out-of-order 
   execution of commands for efficient retrieval of data. Hot Plug support 
   allows users to insert and remove hard disk drives without shutting off 
   power to the system. 
* IEEE1394 motherboard
   This motherboard with IEEE1394 FireWire interface from Texas Instruments 
   (TI). With the transfer speed up to 400Mb/s, the new generation IEEE1394 
   interface further enhances PC connectivity with consumer electronics 
   audio/video (A/V) appliances, and storage peripherals. 
* Gigabit LAN connectivity
   The Gigabit network interface delivers a high speed LAN connection with 
   data transfer rate up to 1000Mb/s, providing new generation connectivity 
   for the broadband era. Gigabit LAN is ideally for seamless internet 
   connection such as streaming audio and video contents. 
* RoHS compliant
   As a member of the global community to look after the environment, 
   Gigabyte complies with the European Union's Restriction of use of 
   certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive which limits the use of 
   lead, mercury, cadmium and other hazardous substances in electronic 
   products.. From components and material selection to production 
   processes, make up of accessories, packaging/color boxes etc; GIGABYTE 
   has carefully examined and designed this product to be 100% RoHS 
   compliant. GIGABYTE will continue to develop RoHS compliant PC
