DDR400 (PC3200)
Support
DDR400 (PC3200), the
latest and fastest DDR memory standard,
supports bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s to
provide enhanced system performance.

ASUS Wi-Fi slot
The
Wi-Fi slot is specifically designed
for the ASUS Wireless LAN add-on card
(ex. WiFi-b™) to set up an environment
for home Wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™
add-on card bundles the exclusive
Software AP (Access Point) to save the
extra cost of an hardware AP. In
addition, the card comes with
user-friendly utilities and applications
that allow quick connection to
notebooks, PDAs and other WLAN
peripherals. The
Wi-Fi slot supports the 802.11g
standard for future upgrades.
(Note:
The WiFi-b™ card with software AP has to
be purchased separately)

AGP 8X Technology
AGP8X (AGP 3.0) is the
next generation VGA interface
specification that enables enhanced
graphics performance with high bandwidth
speeds up to 2.12GB/s. With a bus of
533MHz, AGP8X is twice as fast as AGP4X.
|
Serial ATA Technology
Serial ATA is the next
generation ATA specification that
provides scalable performance for today
and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data
transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than
current Parallel ATA, while providing
100% software compatibility.
|
AI NET (Gigabit LAN)
The AI Series supports
Gigabit LAN by integrating the 3COM
3C940 controller, equipped with a unique
net-diagnosing utility-- VCT (Virtual
Cable Tester). The controller
intelligently detects net connection
status up to 100 meters from a remote
location and reports the distance of bad
cable.

S/PDIF out port on back I/O
The A7V600 provides
convenient connectivity to external home
theater audio systems via an S/PDIF out
interface. Experience 5.1-channel
surround sound and enhanced 3D audio
while playing your favorite DVDs or
games.

8 USB 2.0 ports support
USB 2.0 is the latest
connectivity standard for next
generation components and peripherals.
Backward compatible with current USB 1.1
peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer
speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mb/s,
for easy connectivity and ultra-fast
data transfers.
|
ASUS C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection)
ASUS C.O.P. is a hardware
protection circuit that automatically
shuts down the system power before
temperatures go high enough to
permanently damage your CPU.
|
C.P.R. (CPU
Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to
overclocking failure, there is no need
to open the case to clear the CMOS data.
Just simply restart the system, the BIOS
would show the previous setting and then
users can amend the CPU setting again.
|
CrashFree BIOS 2
The CrashFree BIOS 2 feature now
includes the BIOS auto-recovery function
in a support CD. Users can reboot their
system through the support CD when a
bootable disk is not available, and go
through the simple BIOS auto-recovery
process. ASUS motherboards now enable
users to enjoy this protection feature
without the need to pay for an optional
ROM.
|
ASUS EZ Flash
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS
directly from the BIOS setup menu. No
more DOS-based flash utility and
bootable diskette required.
