Enjoy high-end sound quality on your PC! The onboard HD audio (High

Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality

192KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions

and multi-streaming technology that simultaneously sends different audio

streams to different destinations. You can now talk to your partners on the

headphone while playing multi-channel network games.

1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the 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 for

details.

ASUS EZ Flash 2

EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply press the predefined

hotkey to launch the utility and update the BIOS without entering the OS.

Update your BIOS easily without preparing a bootable diskette or using an

OS-based flash utility. See page 2-3 for details.

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 the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default

setting for each parameter.
