Thermal Protection: With AMD ® Athlon XP ™ installed, the motherboard offers
automatic CPU Overheating Protection to prolong the life of the entire
system. If the CPU temperature exceeds the set criteria, the PC shuts
down automatically.
Realtek LAN: Full networking built-in with the RTL8100 controller with driver
support and onboard RJ-45 input jack. (Optional)
Temperature, Fan and Voltage Monitoring: CPU temperature is monitored
by the ASUS ASIC through the CPU’s internal thermal diode to prevent
overheating and damage. The CPU and system fans can be monitored
for RPM and failure. System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable voltage to critical motherboard components.
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct
Power Management (OSPM).
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI
master busses to the memory and processor.
Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.
Dual Function Power Button: Push the power button for less than 4 seconds
when the system is operating places the system into sleep or soft-off
modes, depending on the BIOS or OS setting. If the power button is
pressed for more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode
regardless of the BIOS setting.
