ASUS POST Reporter
SK8V Deluxe offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the Power-
On Self-Tests (POST). Through an added external speaker, you will hear
the messages informing you of the system boot status and causes of boot
errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software allows you to
customize the voice messages, and provides multi-language support. See
page 3-3.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This
protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page
4-5.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to
the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking.
When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to
open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and
reboot the system, and BIOS automatically restores the CPU previous
setting for each parameter.
ASUS MyLogo2™
This new feature present in the SK8V motherboard allows you to
personalize and add style to your system with customizable boot logos.
See pages 4-37, 5-7.
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS
With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even
before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility
or boot from a floppy disk. See page 4-4.
