ASUS E35M1-M Series

1-2

DDR3 1066MHz support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer

rates of 1066MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest

3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel

DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to

boost system performance.

True Serial ATA 6Gb/s support

The AMD

®

Hudson M1 chipset natively supports the Serial ATA (SATA)

interface, delivering up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer. ASUS provides extra

SATA 6.0Gb/s ports with enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and

double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

USB 3.0 support

(for E35M1-M PRO only)

Experience ultra-fast data transfer at 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0 – the latest

connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation

components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10x faster and is

also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.

PCI Express 2.0 support

This motherboard supports PCI Express 2.0 devices for double speed

and bandwidth which enhances system performance.

AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology

This motherboard supports the AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology which

monitors system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and

frequency for a cool and quiet operating evironment.

S/PDIF out connector at the back I/O

This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home

theater audio systems via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital

Interface) out connecor at the back I/O. The S/PDIF transfers digital audio

without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.

Gigabit LAN solution

The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is

enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efﬁcient power

management for advanced operating systems.
