With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) (page 1-15)

When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear the CMOS data. Simply restart the system and the BIOS will automatically restore the CPU default setting for each parameter.

CrashFree BIOS (page 2-7)

Unlike other competing vendors’ products, ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
