Serial ATA solution

The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA)
specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface.
The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin
count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and
software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. See page 1-21.

ASUS Hyper-Path Technology

This unique technology from ASUS optimizes the true potential of the Intel

®

865PE

chipset to deliver the highest performance among competing 865PE-based
solutions.

AGP 8X support

AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables
enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast
480 Mbps on USB 2.0. See page 1-15.

10/100 Mbps LAN support

Easy connectivity to your network or broadband connection with the onboard LAN
port. See page 3-3.

SoundMAX digital audio system

The ADI AD1888 AC’97 audio CODEC onboard provides 6-channel audio playback
for 5.1 surround sound using digital audio devices via a Sony/Philips Digital
Interface (S/PDIF) jack located at the rear panel I/O. See page 3-3.

AI Overclocking

This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the installed
CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still maintaining system
stability. See page 2-15 to set the BIOS items for overclocking.

CrashFree BIOS 2

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip.
