IEEE 1394 support The IEEE 1394 interfaces and the VIA Fire IIM VT6307 host controller onboard provide high-speed and flexible PC connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and devices compliant to IEEE 1394a standards. The 32-bit PCI bus interface allows up to 400Mbps transfer rates through simple, lowcost, high-bandwidth asynchronous (real-time) data interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices such as camcorders, VCRs, printers,TVs, and digital cameras. See page 2-27. USB 2.0 technology The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation scanners and printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See page 2-25. 6-channel digital audio (on audio models only) The ADI AD1980 AC '97 audio CODEC is onboard to provide 6-channel audio playback for 5.1 surround sound, over 90dB dynamic range, and stereo Mic PREAMP. A digital audio connector is onboard to accommodate the bundled Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) Out module. See page 2-28. C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and BIOS automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter. ASUS EZ Plug™ This patented ASUS technology lets you use your existing power supply rather than buying a new ATX 12V power supply. The ASUS EZ Plug™ is a 4-pin auxillary +12V connector mounted on the motherboard that connects a regular 4-pin device power connector from the power supply. This connector is necessary to provide the additional power required by the P4 CPU. See page 2-23. ASUS P4PE motherboard user guide 1-3
