HyperTransport

3.0 support

HyperTransport

3.0 technology provides 2.6 times more bandwith than

HyperTransport

1.0, radically improving system efficiency to create a

smoother, faster computing environment.

64-bit CPU support

64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace the current

32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster

memory access, and increased productivity. This motherboard provides

excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit

architecture.

High Definition Audio

Enjoy high-end sound quality on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD

audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC

enables high-quality 192KHz / 24-bit audio output, jack-detect feature.

AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology

The motherboard supports the AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology, which

monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and

frequency for a cool and quiet operating environment.

Native DDR2 1066 support

This motherboard supports native DDR2 1066. It provides faster data

transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate

and computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics

and other memory demanding applications.

• DDR2 1066 is supported by AM3 / AM2+ CPU only. Refer to www.asus.com for the

AM3 / AM2+ CPU model.

• Due to AM2+ CPU limitation, only one DDR2 1066 DIMM is supported per channel.

When four DDR2 1066 DIMMs are installed, all DIMMs run at 800MHz frequency by

default for system stability.

PCI Express 2.0 support

This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed

and bandwidth which enhances system performance.

Gigabit LAN solution

The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is

enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power

management for advanced operating systems.
