Asus K8V Deluxe VIA K8T800 Motherboard

This motherboard is a perfect merge of the latest AMD Athlon 64 processor with the 64 architecture and Via's K8T800 chipset to juice up your system. Enjoy fast performance with Scalable HyperTransport, ASUS Wi-Fi slot, AGP 8x graphics interface, S/PDIF digital audio, IEEE 1394, Dual SATA RAID, and other advanced features.

64bit 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 Athlon 64 Processor
The AMD Athlon 64 processor is based on AMD64 technology, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry's first x86-64 technology. This next-generation processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development.

VIA K8T800
The VIA K8T800 chipset is powering next generation 64-bit compatible platforms based around the new AMD Athlon 64 processors. The K8T800 combined with the VIA VT8237 South Bridge enables an unparalleled range of cutting edge I/O and multimedia features, including an HyperTransport Bus Link, AGP 8X, native Serial ATA/RAID.

Cool 'n' Quiet
Implemented on the K8V Deluxe motherboard, Cool 'n' Quiet is the latest feature found on ASUS solutions. Cool 'n' Quiet enables the CPU to monitor system loading and automatically tune CPU voltage and frequency.

HyperTransport
HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies.

ASUS Wi-Fi slot
The Wi-Fi slot is specifically designed for the ASUS Wireless LAN add-on card (ex. WiFi-b™ to set up an environment for home Wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™add-on card bundles the exclusive Software AP (Access Point) to save the extra cost of an hardware AP. In addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities and applications that allow quick connection to notebooks, PDAs and other WLAN peripherals. The Wi-Fi slot supports the 802.11g standard for future upgrades. (Note: The WiFi-b™card with software AP has to be purchased separately)

Dual SATA RAID
The Promise 20378 RAID controller incorporated two Serial ATA and one parallel connectors with RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 functions while the VT8237 RAID controller provides another two Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions. The K8V is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data backup protection without the cost of add-on cards.

AI NET
The AI Series supports Gigabit LAN by integrating the 3COM 3C940 controller, equipped with a unique net-diagnosing utility-- VCT (Virtual Cable Tester). The controller intelligently detects net connection status up to 100 meters from a remote location and reports the distance of bad cable.
