The K8V-MX Supports AMD Athlon64 and AMD Sempron processors: The AMD 

Athlon 64 processor is based on AMD64 technology, which represents 

the landmark introduction of the industrys first x86-64 technology. 

The AMD Sempron is designed to give everyday computing compelling 

performance at an incredible value. 

Includes Motherboard, User manual, UltraDMA cable, FDD cable, I/O 

shield, SATA cable.
* 64-bit CPU support 

64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 

32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory 

access and increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent 

compatibility and flexibility by supporting.
* AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology 

The K8V-MX supports AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology, which monitors 

system operation and automatically adjusts CPU voltage and frequency for 

a cool and quiet environment. 
* DDR400 

DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports 

bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s to provide enhanced system performance. 
* Serial ATA RAID 

The onboard VT8237R southbridge provides the complete solution to your 

RAID requirements on different disk array standards, and supports RAID 

0, 1 and JBOD on 2 Serial ATA ports. 
* S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port 

The K8V-MXs S/PDIF out function turns your computer into a high-end 

entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful speaker 

systems. 
* 6 Channel Audio & SoundMAX Digital Audio System 

The SoundMAX Digital Audio System is the industrys highest performance 

and most reliable audio solution for business perfessionals, 

audiophiles, musicians, and gamers. SoundMAX Digital Audio System can 

output 5.1 channel surround sound.
* CrashFree BIOS 2 

Whenever BIOS gets corrupted, ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 allows users to 

reboot the computer and perform an smart auto-recovery procedure through 

the motherboard support CD. 
* Integrated 10/100 LAN 

The on-board LAN controller is a highly integrated Fast Ethernet 

controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide 

efficient power management for advanced operating systems. 
* Max 8 USB 2.0 ports support 

USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation 

components and peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB 1.1 

peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 

480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfer.
* C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall) 

When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to 

open the case to clear CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the 

BIOS would show the previous setting and then users can amend the CPU 

setting again.
