IEEE 1394 support (on 1394 models only)
The IEEE 1394 interfaces and the TI TSB43AB22 controller onboard
provide high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of
peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The IEEE
1394 allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, low-cost, high-
bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between computers,
peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs,
printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-27.
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. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows
connection of devices such as high resolution video conferencing
cameras, next generation scanners and printers, and fast storage units.
USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-25.
6-channel digital audio (on audio models only)
The RealTek ALC650, an 18-bit, full duplex AC '97 2.2 stereo audio
CODEC, is onboard to provide 6-channel audio capability. The ALC650
supports independent variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects,
mono outputs, multiple stereo and mono inputs, and flexible mixing/gain/
mute functions for a complete integrated audio solution. A digital audio
connector is onboard to accommodate the bundled Sony/Philips Digital
Interface (S/PDIF) In/Out module. See page 2-23.
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to
the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking.
When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to
open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and
reboot the system, and BIOS automatically restores the CPU default
setting for each parameter.
ASUS EZ Plug™
This patented ASUS technology lets you use your existing power supply
rather than buying a new ATX 12V power supply. The ASUS EZ Plug™ is
a 4-pin auxiliary +12V connector mounted on the motherboard that
connects a regular 4-pin device power connector from the power supply.
This connector is necessary to provide the additional power required by
the P4 CPU. See page 2-23.
