    400MHz FSB Athlon XP CPU Support
    AMD's Athlon XP 3200+ and all follow-up CPUs now support 400MHz FSB for increased office productivity and enhanced digital media experience.

    DDR400 (PC3200) Support
    DDR400 (PC3200), the latest and fastest DDR memory standard, supports bandwidth up to 3.2GB/s to provide enhanced system performance.

    AGP 8X Technology
    AGP8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12GB/s. With a bus of 533MHz, AGP8X is twice as fast as AGP4X.

    Serial ATA Technology
    Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility.

    S/PDIF out port on back I/O
    The A7V600-X provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via an S/PDIF out interface. Experience 5.1-channel surround sound and enhanced 3D audio while playing your favorite DVDs or games.

    8 USB 2.0 ports support
    USB 2.0 is 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 480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfers.

    ASUS C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection)
    ASUS C.O.P. is a hardware protection circuit that automatically shuts down the system power before temperatures go high enough to permanently damage your CPU.

    C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
    When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear the CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the BIOS would show the previous setting and then users can amend the CPU setting again.

    CrashFree BIOS 2
    The CrashFree BIOS 2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function in a support CD. Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a bootable disk is not available, and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery process. A7V600-X now enables users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.

    ASUS EZ Flash
    With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS directly from the BIOS setup menu. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.

    ASUS Instant Music Lite
    Through this unique feature, A7V600-X is conveniently designed to allow users to enjoy their favorite music without the need to enter Windows.
