But what is most exciting about MAX3 is that it features the most advanced cooling technology ever seen before on a motherboard - OTES.

OTES Cooling Technology
In the interests of cooling and performance, OTES has been redesigned to cool the hottest part of a motherboard: the PWM power regulation mosfets and capacitors.

6 Channel Serial ATA RAID
With the Silicon Image 4-port serial ATA RAID controller plus native 2 channel support.

Enhanced 800MHz FSB
The 800MHz FSB increases bandwidth and improves overall system performance.

Dual DDR Module Support
Supports up to 4GB of Single/Dual channel DIMM modules, delivering bandwidth of 6.4GB/sec.
