<blockquote><i>Taipei, Taiwan, Dec 7 2004 – ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), the worldwide leader of motherboards, today introduced the A8V-E Deluxe motherboard, which adopted the latest Via K8T890 chipset to support AMD's Socket Athlon 64FX CPU, PCI Express graphics and onboard wireless connection. The motherboard also included several advanced overclocking features to enhance system performance for the most demanding applications.<p>
- PCI Express<br>
With a bus bandwidth significantly higher than that of AGP 8x and PCI interfaces, PCI Express provides superior performance in 3D graphics and creates new usage such as Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394a and high-speed RAID on desktop PCs. <p>
- 2000MT/s system bus and Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64<br>
The A8V-E Deluxe incorporated the fastest system bus to date at 2000MT/s (or 1000MHz), providing large bandwidth of 8GB/s for high-speed data transfers. Furthermore, support for AMD's latest Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64 processors makes the motherboard compatible with both current 32-bit and future 64-bit operating systems.<p>
- Wireless setup made affordable and easy <br>
WEP? SSID? Building a home WLAN used to be a hassle with confusing acronyms and cryptic menus. With the A8V-E Deluxe supporting onboard wireless connection and easy setup wizard, high-speed wireless network is just a few clicks away. The motherboard also offers AP functions to connect multiple devices to the Internet wirelessly through IEEE 802.11g 54Mbps data transfer.<p>
- Advanced overclocking features<br>
- PEG (PCI-Express Graphics) Link significantly boosts performance of PCI Express graphics cards to deliver superior video quality. On traditional platforms, users cannot manually tweak graphics card performance since the driver controls graphics card overclockability. PEG Link, a BIOS-based feature, is specifically developed to overcome this limitation. It automatically detects system configuration and adjust related parameters to provide powerful video performance.<br>
- AI NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) intelligently detects system loading and automatically raise performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking mechanism that overclocks according to temperature, AI NOS monitors power consumption, accelerating the CPU exactly when it's most needed.<br>
- Precision Tweaker allows users to overclock “inch-by-inch” to achieve maximum performance. It provides options for all major parts of the system: CPU, memory, PCI Express interface and front side bus.<p>
The A8V-E Deluxe is now available globally. For more detail information, please visit the company homepage at http://www.asus.com.
