PCI slots provided on this board. A total of four USB 2.0 ports
on the back panel and two headers on the board give you the
best use of all USB devices with the fancy speed up to
480Mbps. More than that, on the strength of integrated BCM
LAN controller on board, which is a highly integrated Platform
LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (for
MX4SG-4DL, it is 10/100/1000 Mbps) for office and home use.
Besides, MX4SG-4DL / MX4SG-4DN has S/PDIF connector
and an AC’97 CODEC RealTek ALC655 chipset onboard,
providing high performance and magic surround stereo sound
to let people enjoy working with it. Now, let’s enjoy all features
