is built into the chipset to enhance network
security. It protects the system’s networking connection especially during
large file downloads. ActiveArmor is activated the minute you turn on
the PC. It performs a thorough inspection of the data packets that
flow in and out of your network connection and only allows good
packets to pass through the firewall. ActiveArmor performs network
and security processing in the chipset, leaving the CPU free for other
important application processing.
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.
DDR
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM
that doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the
rising and falling edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the
speed of operation therefore doubling the speed of data transfer.
CMOS Reloaded
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multiple user-
defined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility to save, load and
name the settings. This is especially useful to overclockers who
require saving a variety of overclocked settings and being able to
conveniently switch between these settings simultaneously.
Karajan Audio Module
The Karajan audio module at the rear I/O panel supports 8-channel
audio output via the audio jacks on the module. It is also equipped
with a CD-in and front audio connector.
