Asus A8S-X Dual-Core SIS 756/965L Chipset 2000 MT/s FSB Dual Channel DDR 400 Socket 939 ATX Motherboard w/ PCI Express x16, 6 Channels Audio, Gb Lan, SATA, RAID, USB 2.0 (Retail) (Discontinued)

Supports AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64 X2/ Athlon 64
This motherboard supports AMD 939-pin Athlon 64 FX/ /Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 processors with 1MB/512KB L2 cache which is based on 64-bit architecture. It features 2000 MT/s HyperTransport Bus, dual-channel un-buffered DDR400 memory support and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology

AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology
The A8S-X supports AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology, which monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for a cool and quiet environment.

Dual-Channel DDR400
Dual-channel DDR technology doubles the bandwidth of your system memory and hence boost the system performance to out perform any memory existing solutions in the market. System bottlenecks are eliminated with balanced architecture and peak bandwidths up to 6.4GB/s.

PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to 500MB/s. The high speed PCI Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.

Gigabit LAN
Intel 82540EM Gb LAN controller delivers transfer speeds up to ten times faster than conventional 10/100 Ethernet connections. Gigabit LAN is the networking standard for the early future and is ideal for handling large amounts of data such as video, audio, and voice.

SATA RAID
Incorporating the advanced two SATA connectors with RAID 0(striping), RAID 1(mirroring) functions, and JBOD(spanning), the SIS 965L enables enhanced hard disk performance without the cost of add-on cards.

AI Overclocking
A unique option in BIOS that enables quick overclocking up to 30% (depends on CPU and RAM). It automatically detects and optimizes every relevant parameter to provide both performance and stability.

64bit computing
64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.

CrashFree BIOS2
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 MyLog
ASUS MyLogo personalizes and adds style to your system with customizable boot logos.

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.

Q-Fan
Constant, high-pitched noise generated from heatsink fans are a thing of the past thanks to ASUS Q-Fan. ASUS A8S-X with Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.

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.
