GeForce 8300

NVIDIA

GeForce 8300 offers the latest support of Hybrid SLI Technology, DirectX

10 graphics features, HD video playback with HDMI/DVI output. It also supports

HyperTransport™ 3.0 interface, PCI Express™ 2.0 bus architecture, Serial ATA 3 Gb/s

devices and is optimized with AMD's latest AM3/AM2+ and multi-core CPUs to provide

excellent system performance.

Dual channel DDR2 1066 support

This motherboard supports DDR2 1066, which provides faster data transfer rate and more

bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate and computing efficiency. This enhances

system performance in 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications.

NVIDIA

Hybrid SLI™

Hybrid SLI™ technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology built upon NVIDIA.

Hybrid SLI technology today includes two primary features: GeForce

HybridPower™. GeForce

cards when combined with this series motherboard GPUs. HybridPower™ unleashes

graphics performance when needed and enables low-power operation when performance

is not needed. You can switch from the discrete GeForce

GPU for a quiet, low power PC experience.

1.3.2

ASUS 4+1 Phase Power Design

Unleashes ultimate memory performances with independent power to core components,

while providing fast transient response and stability for the CPU under heavy loading or

overclocking modes. ASUS M4N78 PRO also features an extra 1 phase power dedicated

to integrated memory/HT controller.

ASUS EPU

The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management

by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. It

automatically provides the most appropriate power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard

drives, and CPU/chassis fans- helping save power and money!

ASUS Anti-Surge

This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard from damage

caused by power surges from switching power supply (PSU).

AI Nap

With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise when you are

temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS environment, simply click the

mouse or press a key.

1-2

chipset

Due to AM3/AM2+ CPU limitation, only one DDR2 1066 is supported per channel. When

four DDR2 1066 DIMMs are installed, all DIMMs run at 800MHz frequency by default for

system stability.

Boost turbo-charges performance of NVIDIA discrete graphics

GeForce

Boost and HybridPower™ are independent on selected GeForce

GPUs. Refer to www.nvidia.com/hybridsli for more information.
