Anyway, between these two you can either boost up performance or you can improve energy efficiency. Let's just say that much. Here we have support for SATA 6 Gbit per second. We have USB 3 and Memo K. And I actually used the Memo K button on an ASUS motherboard recently for the first time. It actually works. I was not able to post because the memory was not 100% compatible with the P67 chipset. I used the memo K button. It set it to a totally safe setting and I was able to get into the BIOS to adjust all the timings manually. Very neat. Uh certificate of assurance, low radiation, eco-friendly, and anti- surge. Well, there it is. Okay. It supports the any CPU on LGA1 1155. So that is Core i5 Core i7 CPUs on LG 1155. It is not backwards compatible with LG 1156 and you will ruin something if you try and do that. All right, we have an EFI BIOS which is a very cool thing as well as AI suite which has all kinds of neat functionality like adjusting fan profiles, uh that turbo thing, the eco thing, as well as monitoring your temperature.

Okay, in terms of expansion slots, it's a P67 board, so that means it is Crossfire ready. We do have support for uh one 16x card up here or dual 8x cards.
