	Flexible Connectivity & Configuration
	The new AMD® SB700 southbridge, providing up to 6 SATAII and 10 USB2.0 connectors* which, along with RAID support, makes for highly flexible system configurations. Useful tools such as AMD OverDrive™ and AMD RAIDXpert™ increase the usability of advanced system features and overclocking capabilities.

	Exact configuration varies by model. Please see specification detail for further information.

	More Bandwidth for Discrete Graphics
	PCI Express Gen2.0 technology doubles the available aggregate bandwidth between PCIe Generation 2 cards and the motherboard. This means a Gen2.0 16-lane (x16) link can provide up to 16GB/s of bandwidth ; 8GB/s in each direction. PCIe Gen2.0 is backwards compatible, and so existing PCIe “Gen1” cards can be plugged into Gen2.0 slots.

	Faster System Interconnect
	HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology provides incredible system agility for improved 3D graphics performance. HT3.0 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 41.6GB/s which means much greater data transfer capability between CPU and system.

	High-Performance Graphics
	Onboard high-performance ATI Radeon™ graphics with full DirectX® 10 support*, introduces detail-rich images and dynamic interactivity for playing the latest DirectX® 10 games titles.
	DirectX® 10 graphics available on all models except A78AX family

	Hybrid Graphics
	ATI Hybrid Graphics technology * automatically improves system performance by enabling the ability for both discrete graphics and integrated graphics to render simultaneously – further increasing graphics firepower. With the discrete graphics card installed, the PC can be configured to support up to 4 displays with the ATI SurroundView™ feature.
	Only available on A7GM-S
