NVIDIA MediaShield 

Today's computing experiences are increasingly dependent on overall system performance, high-speed networking, rich streaming media, and a variety of multimedia capabilities. While CPU and graphics processing unit (GPU) speeds and system capacities advance at an aggressive pace, the basic system architecture continues to evolve more slowly, and various critical devices and subsystems often degrade the overall experience. The first NVIDIA nForce™ MCPs were introduced to meet these challenges. And the newest NVIDIA nForce solutions extend this tradition of delivering advanced core technologies and industry-leading performance to today’s computer platforms through the NVIDIA RAID storage solution bundled with NVIDIA MediaShield Storage Technology1.
