Intel P965+ICH8R ChipsetThe Intel P965 Express Chipset incorporates Intel Fast Memory Access technology to significantly increase overall system performance by optimizing available bandwidth and reduction of memory access latency. Up to dual-channel DDR2 800 memory is supported by the P965 chipset to provide up to 12.8 GB/s peak memory bandwidth for greater platform performance and memory flexibility. The ICH8R also features SATA 3Gb/s with Intel Matrix Storage Technology support, High-Speed USB 2.0 and HD Audio support.
Intel Core 2 Processor SupportThis motherboard supports the next-generation LGA 775 Intel Core 2 processors, including the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. With new Intel Core microarchitecture technology, the Intel Core 2 processors are considered some of the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
8 Phase Power DesignThe ASUS 8-Phase Power Design protects the CPU and power module from the risk of excessively high power stress to greatly extend CPU lifetime and system stability. The highly-efficient design also generates less heat to ensure low ambient temperatures, while the vigorous power pump delivers serious overclocking potential.
Fanless Design for Ultra-Quiet OperationThe ASUS fanless motherboard concept was created specifically for cool running computing environments without the possibility of fan noise or malfunction. To address thermal issues across the motherboard, ASUS utilizes tailor-made heat pipes and heat sinks to maximize heat dissipation and thermal performance.
WiFi-AP SoloBased on the 54 Mbps IEEE 802.11g wireless standard and backwards compatible with 11 Mbps IEEE 802.11b, the on-board WiFi AP Solo provides a new level of versatility for your PC and allows a complete wireless home network in either AP or wireless client mode, enabling you to play LAN games, connect to the Internet, access and share printers, and use Skype anywhere within range.
ASUS Array MicFeaturing advanced de-reverberation techniques to reduce echo effects on the speech engine, the bundled Superbeam Array Microphone eliminates interference and reverberations, and allows for enhanced experiences in speech-centric applications like Skype, online gaming, and video conferencing.
