And then the somewhat extravagant features:
USB 3.0 SupportThe Gigabyte USB3.0 series motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller. With very fast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard NEC SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.
3x USB Power Boost
Gigabyte USB3.0 series motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. Gigabytes unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery.
XHD (eXtreme HardDrive)-Accelerating hard drive performance
Accelerating system performance is made easy with the user friendly Gigabyte eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D). Gigabyte eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D) provides a quick and easy way to boost your hard drive performance simply by adding another hard drive (it's an easier, less configurable, dumbed down form of RAID).
DDR3 2200+ Support
Supports the latest Intel processors delivering native support for DDR3 memory up to 2200+MHz by the enhanced design of Gigabyte.
