Asus P4R800-V 3.3.1 Vocal POST messages

3.3ASUS POST Reporter™

This motherboard comes with the Winbond speech controller to support the ASUS POST Reporter™ feature. This application provides vocal POST messages and alerts to inform you of system events and boot status. In case of a boot failure, the ASUS Post Reporter™ reports the specific cause of the problem.

You may customize these POST messages using the Winbond Voice Editor software included in the support CD that came with your motherboard package. You can record your own messages to replace the default messages.
