ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.

2.1.2 Optional Components

The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:

PCI Audio! Provides Crystal CS4280 PCI audio chipset with 3D surround and
positioning capability. Includes complete online help to guide you through the
audio software.

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 Serial IR supports an optional
remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, per-
sonal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.
