GeForce Boost (Hybrid-SLI)
GeForce Power
MediaShield technology



GeForce Boost

Hybrid SLI technology delivers multi-GPU performance when an NVIDIA motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU. But this feature of Hybrid SLI works only with specific dGPUs whose performance is comparable with the mGPU. The GeForce 8200 graphics core of the MCP78 chipset supports GeForce 8500GT and GeForce 8400 GS range graphics cards and works only with Windows Vista.

GeForce Power

This Hybrid Power feature allows specified dGPUs to be able to power down or enter into a low power state when the system enters 'Save Power' mode. The GeForce 8200 graphics core of the MCP78 chipset supports GeForce 9800GX2 and the GeForce 9800GTX range of graphics cards and works only with Windows Vista.

Nvidia MediaShield technology

This technology provides a simple point and click wizard-based interface for creating and managing multi-disk storage configurations. Allows multi-disk designs to be set up for maximum performance (RAID 0), for data protection (RAID 1), or for a combination of both performance and protection (RAID 0+1 and RAID 5).
FirstPacket technology

Nvidia's FirstPacket technology assures your game data, VoIP conversations, and large file transfers are delivered according to preferences set by you in an intuitive wizard.

High Definition Audio (HDA)

High definition audio brings consumer electronics quality sound to the PC delivering high quality sound from multiple channels. Using HDA, systems can deliver 192 kHz/32-bit quality for eight channels while supporting newer audio formats as well.

Thanks for the nice review. If they had HDMI O/P this would have been a nice board. I think the price is a bit on the high side as I have owned a Biostar TA2+ 780G board for over a month and I paid Rs. 3800.
