   HyperTransport technology 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.
* AI NET 
   The AI Series supports Gigabit LAN by integrating the Marvell 88E8801
   GbLAN controller, equipped with a unique net-diagnosing utility-- VCT 
   (Virtual Cable Tester). The controller intelligently detects net 
   connection status up to 100 meters from a remote location and reports 
   the distance of bad cable.
* ASUS CrashFree BIOS2
   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

   You can convert your favorite photo into a 256-color boot logo for a 
   more colorful and vivid image on your screen.
* 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. Simply restart the system and the BIOS 
   will automatically restore the CPU default setting for each parameter.
* ASUS EZ Flash
   With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating 
   system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required. 
* S/PDIF-out Port on back I/O (on audio model only)
   The K8V-Xs S/PDIF out function turns your computer into a high-end 
   entertainment system with digital connectivity to powerful speaker 
   systems.

   quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.
* USB 2.0 Ready 
   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.
* Trend Micro PC-cillin 2002 anti-virus software
   Bonus! Free bundleTrend Micro PC-cillin 2002 anti-virus software (OEM
