The nForce 680i SLI/ nForce 680i LT SLI provide four DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Modules)
sockets allowing you to install 240-pin, unbuffered non-ECC, DDRII 800/ 667/ 533 SDRAMs.
They also support Dual Channel Technology and allow you installing a total memory capacity
of 8 GB.

These mainboards provide two PCI-E x16 slots which can be used with two identical
SLI-ready PCI-Express graphics cards, enabling SLI Technology and significantly increasing
graphics performance <See Appendix III>. Furthermore, the nForce 680i SLI also provides
one PCI-E x8 slot for use with a graphics card. There are two PCI-E x1 slots provided for use
with PCI-E x1 compatible expansion cards. Two standard PCI slots for use with standard PCI
expansion cards are also allowed.

The nForce 680i SLI/ nForce 680i LT SLI provide one floppy disk drive connector that can be
used with 360KB/720KB/ 1.2MB/1.44MB/2.88MB drives. There is also one IDE connector for
connecting two IDE hard drives supporting Ultra ATA 33/66/100/133. Moreover, these
mainboards come with Serial ATA II feature, six SATA II connectors which the interfaces can
provide the transmit rate up to 3 Gbps and also support RAID 0/ 1/ 0+1/ 5 JBOD mode <See
Appendix II>
