Accelerated Hub Architecture, which provides direct connections between the
810 chipset and subsystems such as IDE controllers, USB controllers, and PCI
add-on cards.
• Integrated Graphics! The 24-bit 230MHz RAMDAC graphics controller sup-
ports 3D hyper pipelined architecture, parallel data processing and compres-
sion, precise pixel interpolation, full 2D hardware acceleration, and motion video
acceleration. The CUWE-FX comes with 4MB 32-bit 133MHz SDRAM dis-
play cache onboard, and the CUW-FX comes with optional 4MB 100MHz
SDRAM display cache.
• ASUS Graphics Driver! You can gain about 12% performance over that of the
