1 x PS/2 Keyboard, 1 x PS/2 mouse, 4 x USB, 2 x IEEE 1394, 1 x S/PDIF Output, Audio connectors (Front Speaker, Line-in, Mic-in, Center/Sub, Surround Speaker), 2 x USB, 1 x RJ-45 LAN Connector

The P4 kind of ATX connector makes its debut on the Athlon mainboards. It is especially useful for heavily loaded system for maintaining system stability. For old designs (and most other K7 MBs from other company), Vcore was converted from +5v thus cause very heavy loading on +5v. Many power supply won't be able to supply so much current for +5v. This design allows taping the power off the +12v line instead of the +5v line

ABIT Serillel ATA is a cable set up that enables users to connect parallel HDDs to the serial ports on the new ABIT MAX 2 series of motherboards. With ABIT Serillel ATA, users now have the option of using parallel or serial drives without wasting system resources on unused serial ports, allowing 4 channels of RAID with a combination of parallel and serial drives. With ABIT Serillel ATA, MAX 2 users will continue to have more options to expand their system, allowing for ultimate flexibility. Not only are your hard drive options expanded, the new Serillel cables are cool in more than one sense; these new Serial ATA cables are thin, discrete, and will help keep your system temperature down, even better than the sometimes problematic round cables. In addition to better cooling, Serillel ATA cables also provide for a data transfer rate of 150 Mb/s.
