graphics demanding multimedia utilities. Don't worry, this mobo is

good enough for you, the question is, are you game enough for

A8N-SLI.

Supports AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64

A8N-SLI supports AMD 939-pin Athlon 64 FX/ Athlon 64 processors

with 1MB/512KB L2 cache which is based on 64-bit architecture. It

features 2000/1600 MT/s HyperTransport Bus and dual-channel

un-buffered DDR400 memory support.

NVIDIA nForce4 SLI MCP NVIDIA® SLI

Ã&402;¢ââ&8218;¬Å¾Ã&8218;¢

technology revolutionizes PC performance by combining multiple PCI

Express GPUs in a single and scalable system! Gamers and hardcore

enthusiasts know that dual GPUs mean increased, supercharged 3D

graphics and performance.

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

in applications such as 3D gaming. The PCI Express x1 interface

creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., TV tuner, 1394b, and

high-speed RAID systems.

SATA 3Gb/s

A8N-SLI supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the new

SATA 3Gb/s storage specification. Furthermore, the chipset has two

dedicated SATA controllers delivering more scalable performance and

doubles the bus bandwidth for fast hard drive data retrieval and

saves.

Dual RAID

The nForce4 chipset incorporated four Serial ATA and two parallel

connectors with high performance RAID functions in RAID 0, RAID 1,

RAID 0+1 and JBOD. The Silicon Image controller provides another

four Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5

functions. The A8N-SLI Deluxe is the ideal solution to enhance hard

disk performance and data back up protection without the cost of

add-on cards.

Dual Gigabit LAN & AI NET2

The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a

network gateway for managing traffic between two separate networks.

This capability ensures rapid transfer of data from WAN to LAN

without any added arbitration or latency.

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.

NV Firewall

NV ActiveArmor enhances network security while delivers the highest

system performance by offloading CPU-intensive packet filtering

tasks in hardware. NV Firewall provides professional-grade traffic

inspection capabilities, instanton protection, advanced management

features and is easy to use and setup via a user friendly

wizard.

AI NOS

Boost performance when you need it the most!

Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk

of system resource.

Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI

NOSÃ&402;¢ââ&8218;¬Å¾Ã&8218;¢

(Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects

system load and automatically boosts performance for the most

demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI

NOSÃ&402;¢ââ&8218;¬Å¾Ã&8218;¢

reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds.

AI Audio (8-channel Audio)

A8N-SLI has eight channels of audio output with Coaxial and optical

S/PDIF connector designed to maximize your auditory experience. AI

Audio also provides "Jack Sensing" and "UAJ" functions. "Jack

Sensing" automatically detects and notifies user of any

inappropriate connection. "UAJ" function enables both input and

output functions each jacks, thus eliminates the confusion of

Line-in, Line-out and Mic jacks once and for all!

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.

IEEE 1394 interface

IEEE 1394 interface provides high speed digital interface for

audio/video appliances such as digital television, digital video

camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable

devices.

Max. 10 USB 2.0 ports supports

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 data transfers.

Multi-language BIOS

The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your

choice from the available options. The localized BIOS setup menu

helps you configure your system easier and faster.

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.

S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port

This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home

theater audio systems via an optical or coaxial S/PDIF-out

(SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) jack. It allows to transfer

digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the

best signal quality.
