Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
This motherboard supports the latest Pentium 4 CPU from Intel in LGA775 package.
With 1066/ 800/ 533MHz FSB, Hyper-Threading Technology and core-speeds up
to 3.8GHz and beyond, Intel's LGA775 Pentium 4 is one of the fastest desktop
processors to date.
Dual-Core CPU
Enjoy the extraordinary CPU power from the latest dual-core CPU. The advanced
processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with individually dedicated
L2 cache to satisfy the rising demand for more powerful processing capability.
64-bit CPU support
64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 32-bit
architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and
increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility
and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.
Dual-Channel DDR400
Dual-channel DDR technology doubles the bandwidth of your system memory and
hence boost the system performance to out perform any memory existing solutions
in the market. System bottlenecks are eliminated with balanced architecture
and peak bandwidths up to 6.4GB/s.
PCI Express & AGP8X Combo Design
This motherboard supports PCI Express x16 and AGP8X slots to provide ultimate
flexibility for graphics card upgrade. The PCI Express x16 slot running at
PCI Express x4 speed outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth
up to 2GB/s.
Serial ATA RAID
Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable
performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate,
Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software
compatibility. The onboard VIA VT8237R southbridge allows RAID 0, RAID 1 and
JBOD configuration for two SATA connectors.
ASUS Q-Fan technology intelligently and automatically adjusts CPU fan speeds according to system load and temperature, enabling users to work in a distraction-free environment with minimal noise.
6 Channel Audio & SoundMAX Digital Audio System
The SoundMAX Digital Audio System is the industry's highest performance and
most reliable audio solution for business perfessionals, audiophiles, musicians,
and gamers. SoundMAX Digital Audio System can output 5.1 channel surround
sound and features state-of-the-art DLS2 MIDI synthesizer with Yamaha DLSbyXG
sound set, 5.1 Virtual Theater TM and supports and major game audio technologies
including Microsoft DirectX TM 8.0, Microsoft DirectSound 3D, A3D, MacroFX,
ZoomFX, MultiDrive 5.1, A3D and EAX.
S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater
audio systems via an S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) jack. It
allows to transfer digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps
the best signal quality.
ASUS CrashFree BIOS2
The CrashFree BIOS2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function in
a support CD. Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a
bootable disk is not available, and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery
process. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature
without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open
the case to clear CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the BIOS would
show the previous setting and then users can amend the CPU setting again.
