Page 12 highlights

NVIDIA® GeForce 8300® chipset NVIDIA® GeForce 8300 offers the latest support of Hybrid SLI Technology, DirectX® 10 graphics features, HD video playback with HDMI/DVI output. It also supports HyperTransport™ 3.0 interface, PCI Express™ 2.0 bus architecture, Serial ATA 3 Gb/s devices and is optimized with AMD's latest AM3/AM2+ and multi-core CPUs to provide excellent system performance. Dual channel DDR2 1066 support This motherboard supports DDR2 1066, which provides faster data transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate and computing efficiency. This enhances system performance in 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications. Due to AM3/AM2+ CPU limitation, only one DDR2 1066 is supported per channel. When four DDR2 1066 DIMMs are installed, all DIMMs run at 800MHz frequency by default for system stability. NVIDIA® H��y�b��ri�d��S�L��I™�� Hybrid SLI™ technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology built upon NVIDIA. Hybrid SLI technology today includes two primary features: GeForce® Boost and HybridPower™. GeForce® Boost turbo-charges performance of NVIDIA discrete graphics cards when combined with this series motherboard GPUs. HybridPower™ unleashes graphics performance when needed and enables low-power operation when performance is not needed. You can switch from the discrete GeForce® GPU(s) to the motherboard GPU for a quiet, low power PC experience. GeForce® Boost and HybridPower™ are independent on selected GeForce® GPUs. Refer to www.nvidia.com/hybridsli for more information. 1.3.2 Innovative ASUS features ASUS 4+1 Phase Power Design Unleashes ultimate memory performances with independent power to core components, while providing fast transient response and stability for the CPU under heavy loading or overclocking modes. ASUS M4N78 PRO also features an extra 1 phase power dedicated to integrated memory/HT controller. ASUS EPU The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. It automatically provides the most appropriate power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard drives, and CPU/chassis fans- helping save power and money! ASUS EPU is supported by AM3/AM2+ CPU only. ASUS Anti-Surge This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard from damage caused by power surges from switching power supply (PSU). AI Nap With AI Nap, the system can continue running at minimum power and noise when you are temporarily away. To wake the system and return to the OS environment, simply click the mouse or press a key. 1-2 ASUS M4N78 PRO
