1.3.2 Unique ASUS features
AI Audio technology
The motherboard supports 8-channel audio through the onboard ALC850
CODEC with 16-bit DAC, a stereo 16-bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3
compatible multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. It
also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals into the audio
ports and identifies any incompatible devices. See page 5-16.
AI BIOS solution
The AI BIOS is a combination of three ASUS intelligent solutions: Q-Fan,
POST Reporter, and CrashFree BIOS 2.
ASUS Q-Fan technology 2
The ASUS Q-Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to
the system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efficient operation. See page
4-30.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This
protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page
4-5.
ASUS POST Reporter™
The motherboard offers an exciting feature called the ASUS POST
Reporter™ to provide friendly voice messages and alerts during the
Power-On Self-Tests (POST). Through an added external speaker, you will
hear the messages informing you of the system boot status and causes of
boot errors, if any. The bundled Winbond Voice Editor software allows you
to customize the voice messages, and provides multi-language support.
See page 3-3.
ASUS MyLogo2™
This new feature present in the motherboard allows you to personalize and
add style to your system with customizable boot logos. See pages 4-32,
