Computers for all and everything for them

The AMD Athlon 64 processor is based on AMD64 technology, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry's first x86-64 technology. This next-generation processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development. AMD Cool 'n' Quiet technology enables processor frequency and voltage switching to reduce power and fan speed. The K8N-E supports AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology, which monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for a cool and quiet environment. DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s to provide enhanced system performance. NV Firewall is a high-performance, network-level firewall integrated into K8N. It has professional grade traffic inspection capabilities and advanced management features. In addition, NV Firewall also has unique anti-hacking features not found in other PC firewalls! Because it's native, NV Firewall eliminates interoperability issues, improves throughput and protection, with no extra cost to your pocket or CPU resources! nForce3 250Gb provides the complete solution to your RAID requirements on different disk array standards, and supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD on 2 Serial ATA ports. The ALC850 has six channels of 16-Bit DAC, a stereo 16-Bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. The CODEC can also automatically detect and identify what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection. No more confusion of Line-in, Line-out and Mic jacks. The K8N-E's S/PDIF out function turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful speaker systems. USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and peripherals. Backwards 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 dat. Whenever BIOS gets corrupted, ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 allows users to reboot the computer and perform an smart auto-recovery procedure through the motherboard support CD. A voice warning design during POST notifies users of any system errors, which means no more complicated LED messages! With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.
