the new Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) memory specification,
unlocking even higher levels of memory DIMM performance
-- Advanced NVIDIA DualNet technology with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports,
TCP/IP offload, and bandwidth teaming capability -- ideal for LAN party
game servers and file sharing servers
-- Massive storage with support for up to 6 SATA 3Gb/sec hard drives and a
dizzying array of RAID configurations including the industry's first
dual RAID 5 support on a single controller
