DDR400 (PC3200) support

DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports bandwidth of up to 3.2 GB/s to provide enhanced system performance. See 1-12.

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard bundles the new Serial ATA technology through the SATA interfaces onboard. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and software compatibility with the legacy Parallel ATA. See page 1-20.

AGP 8X support

AGP8X is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth up to 2.12GB/s. See page 1-16.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. See pages 1-6 and 1-24.

10/100 Mbps LAN support

Easy connectivity to your network or broadband connection with the onboard LAN port. See pages 1-6.

6-channel digital audio

The ADI AD1888 AC’97 audio CODEC onboard provides 6-channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound using digital audio devices via a Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) jack located at the rear panel I/O. See pages 1-5, 1-6, 3-3.

AI Overclocking

This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still maintaining system stability. See page 2-16 to set the BIOS items for overclocking.

CrashFree BIOS 2

CrashFree BIOS 2 allows users to restore BIOS data from a floppy diskette or recovery CD when BIOS code and data are corrupted during upgrade or when invaded by a virus. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM. See page 2-6.

ASUS Instant Music Lite

This unique feature allows you to playback audio files even before entering the operating system. Just press the ASUS Instant Music Lite special function keys and enjoy the music! See pages 2-25, 3-5.
