Axiz offers futuristic ASUS P5AD2-E

Johannesburg, 25 Jan 2005

Premium motherboard Local IT infrastructure distributor Axiz has announced the immediate availability of the latest P5AD2-E Premium motherboard from ASUS. The new motherboard focuses on providing the latest technology through a host of innovative features which ensure it is the most up-to-date motherboard in its class.

The P5AD2-E Premium is based on the latest Intel 925XE chipset ensuring support for the Pentium 4 processor with 1066MHz front-side-bus, while incorporating ASUS Intelligence (AI) which ensures system enhancement, easy establishment of networks and a unique cooling device. However, four specific features guarantee that the P5AD2-E Premium motherboard is chosen by intense overclockers. These include superior overclocking, DDR2 711 native support, PEG link and CPU lock free.

According to Kobus De Beer, ASUS product manager, Axiz believes the most important feature is the superior overclocking which translates to shortened memory latency.

"The Northbridge controls communication between the processor and memory. As soon as the processor sends out memory-related commands, a path is provided for data transfer by the Northbridge. This Hyper Path2 ensures a correlation between CPU and memory which equates to enhanced memory performance and maintained stability."

The second feature is the DDR2 711 Native support. This provides backing as a problem often exists with overclocking the CPU and memory. In this way the P5AD2-E Premium motherboard can provide the highest quality performance for memory-intense applications. This can be coupled with the PEG or PCI-Express Graphics link which delivers superior video quality by boosting performance of the PCI-Express graphics cards.

A final attribute is that ASUS motherboards now offer CPU Lock Free. "Multiplier reduction provides more flexibility for increasing frequency without raising CPU clockspeed, thus improving data transfer between the CPU and memory modules. Ultimately, users will be able to tweak and adjust their systems either by increasing the CPU multiplier or FSB frequency," comments De Beer.

The ASUS P5AD2-E Premium motherboard also showcases Stack Cool technology which results in a 10-degree Celsius temperature reduction ensuring quieter operation. The AI NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology in place automatically adjusts and boosts performance based on the system loading - ensuring demanding tasks are accommodated for. A futuristic feature is that of the AI NET2 which detects and reports any faulty connections - ensuring no network problems are caused by bad cable connection.
