1.3.2 Unique ASUS features
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the ASUS support
CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-6.
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 previous setting for each parameter.
ASUS MyLogo™
This feature allows you to personalize and add style to your system with
customizable boot logos. See pages 2-32.
ASUS EZ Flash BIOS
With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before
loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a
floppy disk. See page 2-5.
Instant Music Lite
This unique feature allows you to playback audio CDs even without booting the
system to Windows
®
. Just press the ASUS Instant Music special function keys and
enjoy the music! See details on pages 2-26 and 3-6.
6-Channel Audio solution

6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.
