* Supports AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2
The A8R-MVP supports AMD 939-pin Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor with
1MB x2 or 512KB x2 L2 cache which is based on 64-bit architecture. It
features better multi-threaded/multi-tasking performance than Athlon 64
FX/Athlon 64.
* ATI CrossFire Technology
ATIs CrossFire boosts image quality along with rendering speed,
eliminating the need to crank down screen resolutions to get the high
image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing,
anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust
your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings,
and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATIs
Catalyst Control Center to rule your CrossFire system.
* Dual-Core CPU
Enjoy the extraordinary CPU power from the latest dual-core CPU. The
advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with
individually dedicated L2 cache to satisfy the rising demand for more
powerful processing capability.
* 64-bit CPU support
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.
* AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology
Supports AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology, which monitors system operation
and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for a cool and quiet
environment.
* Serial ATA 3Gb/s
The motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the
Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced
scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval
and saves.
* 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. The high speed PCI
Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN,
1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
* Serial ATA 3Gb/s
The motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the
Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced
scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval
and saves.
* 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.
* ADI AD1986A SoundMAX High Definition Audio, 6-channel CODEC
The onboard 6-channel High Definition audio CODEC enables high-quality
ADI AD1986A audio CODEC, which automatically detects and identifies what
types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies
users of inappropriate connection, meaning there will be no more
confusion of Line-in, Line-out and Mic jacks.
* AI NET2
ASUS AI NET2 remotely detects cable connection the second you turn on
the system, and any faulty connections are reported back up to 100
meters at 1 meter accuracy.
* PEG Link
This latest technology, PEG (PCI Express Graphics) Link Mode, is a
unique feature that enables users to boost graphics card performance for
superior video quality. PEG Link allows users to raise GPU and VGA
memory throughput via the motherboard BIOS the same way system bus and
memory bus are tweaked. PEG Link Mode enables powerful video performance
on DX8 and DX9 applications. ASUS engineers carefully fine-tuned the
parameters for every single PCI-Express card to provide system stability
during high-speed graphics operation.
* Precision Tweaker (Designed for serious overclockers)
It offers ways to raise system performance inch-by-inch and step-by-step
to achieve maximum performance! This is about getting the most out of
your machine and taking pride in your customized computer.
- vDIMM: Take control of how much power is going into the memory
modules. ASUS gives you 8-step voltage control to the DIMM.
- vCore: Find out "exactly" how much power your CPU needs. Fine-tune it
with 0.025 volts at a time!
- SFS
: SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) allows FSB tuning from
200MHz up to 400MHz at 1MHz increments.
* IEEE 1394a
IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/
video appliances such as digital television, digital video camcorders,
storage peripherals & other PC portable devices.
* C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to
open the case to clear CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the
BIOS would show the previous setting and then users can amend the CPU
setting again.
* ASUS Q-Fan
ASUS Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan
speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient
operation.
* ASUS CrashFree BIOS2
The CrashFree BIOS2 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 motherboards now enable users to enjoy this
protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
* ASUS EZ Flash
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating
system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.
