First of all, lets take a look at the board layout. This board has a clean layout as we can see from the picture below. There are 2 PCI slots, 3 PCI-E x 1 and 1 PCI-E x 16. Behind the Socket T is the DPS slot and we also see a beautiful North Bridge heatsink. The most eye  catching are the DUO slots. The yellow ones are DDR 2-400/533 and the orange and blue pairs are for the conventional DDR 400 modules.

On the bottom left hand corner we see the South Bridge supporting 4 SATA ports RAID and a GigaRAID chipset supporting IDE RAID (green). The red IDE slot is supported via the south bridge but as in most 915 boards, it only offers one IDE channel. Thus if you only have IDE devices, you can hook your CDROM and HDD here for initial installation. There is TI Firewire support, Dual BIOS, USB 2.0, Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports on the rear.
