AMD Athlon 64 Computing Platform:

• Powered by VIA K8T800 chipset, this platform supports the brand new 8th generation AMD Athlon 64 processor to deliver a high performance platform with dual support for 32-bit applications and increasing 64-bit computing needs.

Cool'n'Quiet:

• This platform certified by AMD for supporting its Cool'n'Quiet feature on the Athlon 64. With dynamic CPU voltage control, this platform dramatically reduces processor power consumption without degrading system performance. As well, throttling of the system fans allow for a cooler and quieter PC, resulting in decreased noise level for a more comfortable work or educational environment.

HyperTransport Technology:

• A high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to provide excellent interconnect for computation and networking. This technology not only provides more bandwidth but also reduces the I/O bottlenecks and, consequently, greatly enhances the system performance.

Integrated DDR Memory Controller:

• The AMD Athlon 64 processor improves the memory performance by integrating a DDR memory controller into the processor. By running at the processor's core frequency, an integrated memory controller greatly increases bandwidth directly available to the processor at significantly reduced latencies.
• UniChrome Pro Graphics Engine Integrated: At the heart of the K8M800 lies the all new S3 Graphics UniChromeTM Pro IGP, delivering a rich visual experience through the implementation of innovative features such as integrated MPEG-2 hardware acceleration and a dual pixel pipeline, 128 bit 2D/3D engine for robust 3D gaming and applications. The K8M800's highly flexible and scalable architecture also allows for an external AGP 8X port for optional graphic card upgrades.

Ethernet 10/100Mb LAN Network Connection:

• Ethernet 10/100Mb LAN Network Connection Provides high-quality 10/100 Ethernet performance for value-minded users who need straight forward network connectivity. Ensure a high-speed, stable solution for new broadband era.

Serial ATA With RAID 0, 1 function:

• Serial ATA is the revolutionary ATA interface that provides scalable performance for IDE device. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA and delivers superior input/output performance. In addition, the Serial ATA interface is furnished with RAID 0,1 function for extra performace enhancement and data protection.

6-Channel Audio with Jack Sensing Support:

• Users can experience the 3D surround sound through integrated 6-channel audio. It fulfills the requirements for a variety of audio applications, such as MP3 or Audio CD playback, DVD movies and gaming. With Jack-Sensing feature users won't have to worry about how to install audio devices correctly.

Norton Internet Security Included:

• Norton Internet Security 2004 is the essential protection from viruses, hackers, and privacy threats. It protects user during the online activities such as e-mailing, shopping, banking, and game playing.

Xpress Recovery:

• Xpress Recovery is a utility used to back up and restore an OS partition.

Xpress Install:

• Xpress Install uses the"Click and Go" technology to install the drivers automatically.

Q-Flash:

• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.
• @BIOS:
• @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.
