ASUS PC-DL Deluxe motherboard 1-3
Gigabit LAN solution
The Intel ® 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet controller allows full-duplex Gigabit
performance on LAN on Motherboard (LOM) applications through the
Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA). Instead of connecting to
the PCI bus, the controller connects to the dedicated CSA bus on the
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) thus reducing the PCI bottlenecks by
freeing the PCI bus for other I/O operations.
6-channel audio feature
The SoundMAX-class ADI AD1985 AC ‘97 audio CODEC supports
6-channel 5.1 surround sound output, stereo microphone input, variable
Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), professional quality 103-dB out put with
94-dB SNR, and analog enumeration capability. The SoundMAX 4 XL
software features the AudioESP™ (Audio Enumeration and Sensing
Process) that allows intelligent detection of the peripherals plugged into
the audio ports and identifies the incompatible devices, if any.
CPU overclocking
This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the
installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still
maintaining system stability. See section “4.4.1 Advanced Chipset
Features” to set the BIOS items for overclocking.
ASUS Q-Fan technology
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to
the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation.
ASUS POST Reporter™
The motherboard offers a new exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the
Power-On Self-Tests (POST) informing you of the system boot status and
causes of boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software
lets you to customize the voice messages in different languages.
