This motherboard provides great graphics performance. The Intel H77 Express chipset is a single-chipset design to support socket 1155 Intel 3rd/2nd generation processors. It provides enhanced performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth & stability. in addition, H77 chipset provides 4 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 ports for 10 times faster data retrieval speed. Intel Smart Response technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6 GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data. Key benefits include reduced load & wait times, & lower power consumption through the elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with hard drive capacity, operating up to 6x faster than a hard drive-only system.
