DDR 400 (PC3200) Support
DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports
bandwidth up to 3.2 GB/s to provide enhanced system performance.
PC2100/1600 support up to 3 DIMMs; PC3200/2700 support up to 2 DIMMs;
1 GB PC3200/2700 with 32 DDR chips support to 1 DIMM only.
AGP 8X support
AGP 8X is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced
graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. With a bus of
533MHz, AGP8X is twice as fast as AGP4X.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic resetting to the
BIOS previous setting in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the
system hangs due to overclocking failure, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the
system chassis and clear the CMOS data. Simply restart the system and the BIOS
would show the previous CPU parameter settings.
CrashFree BIOS 2
CrashFree BIOS 2 allows users to restore BIOS data from a floppy diskette or
recovery CD when BIOS code and data are corrupted during upgrade or when
invaded by a virus. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection
feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
