Serial ATA technology
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 software compatibility with
the legacy Parallel ATA (See page 1-19 for details).
Integrated 10/100 LAN controller
A 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet controller is embedded in this motherboard to give
you a fast and reliable connection to a local area network (LAN) and the Internet.
USB 2.0 technology
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and
peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB 1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0
delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480 MB/s, for easy connectivity
and ultra-fast data transfer rate (See pages 1-17 & 1-20 for details).
1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features
ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2
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 (See page 2-6).
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No
more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required (See page 2-5).
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.
ASUS MyLogo 2
You can convert your favorite photo into a 256-color boot logo for a more colorful
and vivid image on your screen.
