The P4M900-M fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high-speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications.

IDE
The P4M900-M includes built in IDE facilities that support Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133.
Audio

CRAP, I ordered 4 and not one of them works, at first I thought it was the fact that I had a 20 pin PS with a 24 pin adapter but nope I got a new PS and stil nothing. Keeps getting boot disk error on all 4 in different machines 2 of which are all brand new components.

This motherboards rocks. Consistent and reliable.

REVIEW BY: papo Reviewed  Oct 08, 2008
I gave this board a 5 because it worked very good from the start.Not a single problem with it. Every thing works perfect.The only problem I had was that it did not detected the cpu had to reenstall XP and everything is just fine.

REVIEW BY: Martin Reviewed  Oct 04, 2008
A very easy motherboard to set up. I never opened the instructions. I set it up with a P4 @ 3.4Ghz, 2 Gigs crucial ram @ 667,nvidia 8600GT, 400w ultra psu, and wow and behold. Doesnt have 256 onboard video but then who uses it. very stable board for the money and blazing fast and im betting it will support up to 800 RAM as well. Pcie just bumped the FSB to 1600+, no heat issues. I may just pick up another for future build.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Aug 04, 2008
Good board used to bring back a Pentium 4 2.8 northwood 400 FSB from a dead motherboard. Put in 2 gigs of DDR2 667 Mhz and a XFX 8600 GT running XP Media Center. Sent a total of $300 which is much cheaper than buying a new computer. Moved over power supply, hard drives, dvd drives and everything works much faster. Played Company of Heroes again to see the difference the 8600 GT made and coming from a TI 4400 it made a huge difference in graphics. Would buy this product again. No issues with setup of motherboard.

PCI Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with current PCI hardware.
