PCI-E 2.0 doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s, meaning a x32 connector can transfer data at up to 16 GB/s in each direction. PCI-E 2.0 also features improvements to the point-to-point data transfer protocol and its software architecture.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)는 과거영상과 음향이 분리되어 전송되는 시대를 종식시킨 새로운 차세대 멀티미디어 디지털 동영상 전송 인터페이스이다. HDMI인터페이스는 5Gb/s의 영상 데이터 전송 대역폭을 제공하며 8채널의 고품질 오디오를 전송할 수 있습니다. 비압축 디지털 데이터를 풀 전송하여 디지털 및 아날로그신호 전환 시에 발생되는 신호 간섭 또는 약화 현상이 효율적으로 감소된다. 또한 HDCP(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 인증과 호환되어 Blu-ray/ HD DVD 및 기타 저작권의 보호를 받는 콘덴츠를 재생할 수 있다.

Dolby^® Home Theater는 스테레오 5.1 서라운드 채널 오디오를 6.1, 7.1 서라운드 채널로 전환하여 섬세한 서라운드 사운드를 제공한다. Dolby^® Headphone는 스테레오 헤드폰으로 5.1채널의 아날로그 음향을 감상할 수 있으며 또한 Sound Space Expander 기술은 사실과 같은 입체 음향과 공간감을 느끼게 해준다. Natural Bass 저음 기술은 음향시스템 스피커를 통해 더욱 힘찬 저주파수의 전율감을 느끼게 해준다. Dolby Digital Live는 PC음향을 언제든지 DolbyDigital 음향규격으로 인코딩하여 음향을 홈시어터 시스템으로 연결 및 출력시켜 준다.

DualBIOS™ is a GIGABYTE patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS updating.

SATA 3Gb/s저장 인터페이스의 전송폭이 초당1.5Gb에서 초당3Gb로 향상되었다. SATA 3Gb/s는 SATA속도를 두배로 향상시켰고 또한 훨씬 전송폭의 활용이 효율적이고 데이터 백업 및 저장 능력이 강화되었다.

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.

기가바이트(Gigabit)LAN은 기존의 초고속 네트워크를 제공하여 연결 대역폭을 최고 1,000 Mbps까지 지원하고 광대역을 제공할 때 네트워크 연결을 최적화해준다. 또한 네트워크를 연결할 때 사용자가 동영상 또는 음악을 제공하는 홈페이지를 브라우징해도 막히거나 끊김 현상이 전혀 없다.
