* Dual Gigabit LAN
   The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a network
   gateway for managing traffic between two separate networks. This
   capability ensures rapid transfer of data from WAN to LAN without any
   added arbitration or latency.
* High Definition Audio
   Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD audio
   (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-
   quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking
   functions and multi-streaming technology that simultaneously sends
   different audio streams to different destinations. You can now talk to
   your partners on the headphone while playing a multi-channel network
   games. All of these are done on one computer.
* SATA on the Go
   The M2N-SLI Deluxe supports the next-generation hard drives based on
   the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced
   scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval
   and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart
   setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other
   entertainment contents on external devices.
* Dual RAID
   The NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI chipsets incorporate six Serial ATA connectors
   with high performance RAID functions in RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and JBOD. The
   JMicron JMB363 controller provides another two Serial ATA connectors for
   RAID 0, 1, and JBOD functions. This motherboard is the ideal solution to
   enhance hard disk performance and data back up protection without the
   cost of add-on cards.

   - AI Gear
     To balance both system performance and quietness, AI Gear allows users
     to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and vCore voltage,
     minimizing system noise and power consumption. Users can real-time
     change the mode under operating system to suit their needs.
   - AI Nap
     With AI Nap, users can instantly snooze your PC without terminating
     the tasks. System will continue operating at minimum power and noise
     when user is temporarily away. It keeps downloading files or running
     applications in quietest state while you're sleeping. Simply click
     keyboard or mouse, you can swiftly wake up the system in few seconds.
   - ASUS Crystal Sound
     This feature can enhance speech-centric application like Skype, online
     game, video conference and recording.
      - ASUS Array Mic
        The bundled Superbeam Array Microphone receives only the sound
        coming from the reception cone and ignores the sound coming from
        other directions. This mechanism eliminates a large number of
        interferences including neighboring speakers and reverberations. It
        also uses advanced de-reverberation techniques to reduce echo and
        minimize its effect on the speech engine.
      - Noise Filter
        This feature detects repetitive and stationary noises like computer
        fans, air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates
        it in the incoming audio stream while recording.
      - Fanless Design: Heat-pipe Thermal solution
        Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with
        noise and malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fanless
        concept is specifically created to provide a cool environment
        without all the baggage. The heat pipe, heat sinks and strategic
        board layout were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most
        efficient manner.
* AMD CPU Features
   - Supports AMD Socket AM2 Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Sempron
     The M2N-SLI Deluxe supports AMD socket AM2 single-core Athlon 64/

   unique feature that enables users to boost graphics card performance
   for superior video quality. PEG Link allows users to raise GPU and VGA
   memory throughput via the motherboard BIOS the same way system bus and
   memory bus are tweaked. PEG Link Mode enables powerful video performance
   on DX8 and DX9 applications. ASUS engineers carefully fine-tuned the
   parameters for every single PCI-Express card to provide system stability
   during high-speed graphics operation.
* ASUS EZ DIY
   - ASUS Q-Connector
     The ASUS Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front
     panel cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique
     adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time,
     making connection quick and accurate.
   - ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3
