1.2 Special Features of the System Board
AMD Athlon
TM
64
The system board supports the AMD Athlon
TM
64 processor. AMD
Athlon
TM
64 provides superior computing for many software
applications by allowing both 32-bit and 64-bit applications to run
simultaneously on the same platform. The operating system and
software are able to process more data and access a tremendous
amount of memory which improves the overall system performance.
2T timing which provides better system stability is supported in CG
or later revisions of the AMD Athlon
TM
64 processor. You can select
the memory timing in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu (“DRAM
Configuration” section) of the BIOS.
AMD Cool‘n’Quiet
TM
Technology
The AMD Cool‘n’Quiet
TM
technology allows the system to detect the
CPU’s tasks and utilization status. When the CPU’s task slows down,
the system effectively lowers power consumption by lowering its
CPU speed and voltage, subsequently decreasing its noise level.
CPU Overheat Protection
CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring the CPU’s
temperature during system boot up. Once the CPU’s temperature
exceeded the temperature limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system
will automatically shutdown. This preventive measure has been added
to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing
environment.
