* LGA775 Intel Quad-core Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel Quad-core and Intel Core 2
processors in LGA775 package. It's excellent for multi-tasking, multi-
media and enthusiastic gamers with 1066/800 MHz FSB. Intel Quad-core is
one of the most powerful CPU in the world.
* NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI
The NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI chipset supports the NVIDIA Scalable Link
Interface (SLI) technology that allows two graphics processing units
(GPUs) in a single system. It's designed for enthusiast gamers, extreme
overclocking capability, ultimate gaming performance with SLI technology
support. It's definitely one of the fastest platforms in the world.
* NVIDIA SLI Technology
NVIDIA SLI-Scalable Link Interface- takes advantage of the increased
bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture and features intelligent
hardware and software that allows two GPUs to efficiently work together
to deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications
nearly 2X performance! (From www.NVIDIA.com)
* Dual-Channel DDR2 800
DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current
DDR. With the highest speed up to 800MHz, DDR2 memory provides great
performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications.
* AI Lifestyle Series
AI Lifestyle Series motherboards bring lifestyle and personal computing
together. They provide you better system performance to enjoy graphic-
intensive games and applications. The cutting-edge audio feature
dramatically enhances the quality of voice signal. Thoughtful design
allows you to set up your system easily. To create a peaceful
environment, several new and improved innovations are included to reduce
noise and temperature. Don't change your way of life for a computer.
Instead let the ASUS Lifestyle Series improve the quality of your life.
* Advanced Thermal Design
ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across
the motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, power,
Northbridge and Southbridge.
- StackCool 2
StackCool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution offered
exclusively by ASUS. It effectively transfers heat generated by the
critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB
(printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation.
- Fanless Design: Heat-pipe Thermal solution
Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise
and malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is
specifically created to provide a cool environment without all the
baggage. The heat pipe, heat sinks and strategic board layout were
tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
* 8 Phase Power Design
ASUS 8-Phase Power Design keeps CPU and power module away from suffering
risk of high power stress, which makes CPU lifetime much longer and
system more stable. Furthermore, It provides high efficiency operation
to generate less heat than conventional power solutions and consequently
achieve cool system environment. With this strong power pump, this
motherboard is made for overclocking.
* ASUS EZ DIY
- ASUS Q-Connector
The Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front
panel cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique
adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time,
making connection quick and accurate.
- CrashFree BIOS 2
The CrashFree BIOS2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery
function in a support DVD. Users can reboot their system through the
support DVD when a bootable disk is not available, and go through the
simple BIOS auto-recovery process. ASUS motherboards now enable users
to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an
optional ROM.
- ASUS EZ Flash 2
EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply launch this
tool and update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS. You
can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without preparing an
additional floppy diskette or using an OS-based flash utility.
* Audio Features
- SupremeFX (ADI 1988b)
The SupremeFX audio card is designed to provide you the best game
sound experience. With 24-bit/192kHz full sampling in all surround
channels, no matter if you're hearing your game through headphones or
7.1 surround speakers, we'll deliver the effects loud and clear!
- DTS Connect
This feature consists of two elements: DTS interactive and DTS NEO:PC.
DTS interactive re-encodes your stereo or multi-channel sound into a
DTS audio signal and send it out from your PC to any DTS enabled
system. While DTS NEO:PC turns your stereo audio such as MP3, WMA, CD,
and other sound format into a convincing multi-channel audio
experience.
* Intelligent overclocking tools
- AI NOS
Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of
system resource. Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI
NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects
system load and automatically boosts performance for the most
demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS
reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds.
- ASUS O.C. Profile
The motherboard features the ASUS O.C. Profile that allows users to
conveniently store or load multiple BIOS settings. The BIOS settings
can be stored in the CMOS or a separate file, giving users freedom to
share and distribute their favorite overclocking settings.
- 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.
* ASUS Unique Features
- MyLogo3
The ASUS MyLogo 3 is the new feature present in the motherboard that
allows you to personalize and add style to your system with
customizable and animated boot logos.
- Music Alarm
Wake up to the music of your choice instead of the irritating sound of
an alarm clock. The ASUS Music Alarm gives you a personal wake-up call
with your favorite CD music when system is off.
* Interface Feature
- Dual Gigabit LAN
The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a
network gateway for managing traffic between two separate networks.
This capability ensures rapid transfer of data from WAN to LAN without
any added arbitration or latency.
- IEEE 1394a interface
IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for
audio/video appliances such as digital television, digital video
camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable devices.
* ROHS and Operating System
The motherboard and its packaging comply with the European Union's
Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). This is in line
with the ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and recyclable
products and packaging to safeguard consumers' health while minimizing
the impact on the environment.

Comments about Asus Asus P5N32-E-SLI-GREEN Nforce 680i Sli Pci Sata (Asus P5N32ESLI):
No problems so far, pretty sure I can get more performance from it but since I'am not a O.Cing mines you get what you paid for a great board for a great price from a great website like beach audio.
