Reduce PCI Bottlenecks


Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA)

Overview
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA) directly connects the Memory Controller Hub to the network controller. With CSA-based motherboards, network data can be transferred at a much higher rate with lower latency. This new interface performs networking tasks more efficiently, achieves bi-directional gigabit speeds and eliminates network traffic through the PCI bus.

CSA Highlights
Delivers full duplex capabilities
Dedicated network bus helps reduce PCI bottlenecks
Provides more efficient use of data paths
