EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
• Smart BIOS! 4Mbit firmware gives a new easy-to-use interface which pro-
vides more control and protection over the motherboard. Provides Vcore and
CPU/SDRAM frequency adjustments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/

2.1.2 Optional Components
The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
• Smart Audio! Software Audio and Hardware AC’97 V2.1 CODEC compliant,
Analog Device’s 3D sound circuitry, sample rate conversion from 7kHz to 48kHz.
Full amplified audio output can be directed to the chassis’ internal speaker in
order to save space, save money, and reduce complications associated with ex-
ternal speakers. Chassis speaker volume can be digitally controlled through OS.
• 3D Positional Audio! Brings new levels of realism to games with sounds being posi-
tioned interactively around the user, making them truly part of the 3D virtual experi-
ence. Better music reproduction is possible with MIDI utilizing Wavetable synthesis.
• Smart Networking! Features the Intel 82559 Fast-Ethernet LAN Controller
(fully integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). Supports TCO function.
• Space Savings! Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Interface gives a direct digital connec-
tion for connecting a digital flat panel (analog flat panel must be connected to
the VGA-out connector) to your PC. This interface transmits sharp, bright im-
ages by eliminating digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions, which
can accumulate noise and degrade image quality.
• No Messy Wires! Integrated Consumer IR and Standard IR support an optional
remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, per-
sonal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
