Based on the nVIDIA NForce2 Ultra 400 / Gigabit MCP Chipset, it is crammed with features, the most notable the Gigabit Ethernet and Firewall. This is the same Ethernet/Firewall package found on the Socket 754/939 Motherboards, providing amazing bandwidth due to its dedicated link instead of being a PCI Device, while giving users a strong Firewall built into the Chipset. Alongside these features you receive 6 SATA Ports, Raid, Firewire, 8 USB Ports, the list just goes on. And with the announcement and release of the new Socket A Cpu, Sempron, coming in the near future, Socket A looks to have a new Champion Motherboard.
