6-Channel Audio solution

The motherboard uses an onboard audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality

6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

1.3.2 Unique ASUS features

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 2-6.

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 MyLogo™

This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and add

style to your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 2-31.

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 2-5.
