Motherboard product manager at Axiz, Alex Morse, says: "The AMD Athlon 64 processor is based on AMD64 technology, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry`s first x86-64 technology. This next-generation processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development."
Implemented on the K8V motherboard is Cool `n` Quiet, the latest feature found on ASUS solutions. Cool `n` Quiet enables the CPU to monitor system loading and automatically tune CPU voltage and frequency.
HyperTransport technology, also available on the K8V, is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies.
"The K8V is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data backup protection without the cost of add-on cards," says Morse.
Through a unique feature called Instant Music Lite, ASUS motherboards are conveniently designed to allow users to enjoy their favourite music, without the need to enter Windows.
The ASUS K8V includes a USB 2.0 port - the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and peripherals. Backward compatible with current USB 1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mbps, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data.
