ASUS Introduces Four-Channel RDRAM Motherboard for Pentium 4 Architecture; Top-performing P4S13G is World's Fastest Motherboard for PC Applications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Rambus Developer Forum TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2003 ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS ASUS Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (Queen's University) ASUS Air Support Squadron (USAF) ASUS Annual Support & Update Service ASUS Administrative Support/Utilization ), the worldwide leader of high-quality motherboards, announced the availability of P4S P4S Partnerships for Schools (UK) 13G PC motherboard featuring four channels of Rambus (Nasdaq:RMBS RMBS Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities RMBS Rambus, Inc. (NASDAQ stock symbol) RMBS Russian Mortgage-Backed Securities ) RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Pronounced "r-d-ram." A dynamic RAM chip technology from Rambus, Inc., Los Altos, CA (www.rambus.com). Rambus licensed its memory designs to semiconductor companies, which manufactured the chips. , making it the world's fastest motherboard for PC applications. "ASUS has combined the most innovative PC technologies into the feature-rich P4S13G PC motherboard," said Joe Hsieh, associate vice president of Sales and Marketing at ASUS. "We are confident that users will find the four-channel RDRAM memory to deliver unprecedented performance." Designed for multimedia gaming, content creation, and CAD applications, the P4S13G is based on the R659 chipset for top performance and dependability. With the extreme power of four-channel RDRAM, the P4S13G delivers a more realistic gaming experience, faster processing for digital video, and more computing speed for scientific applications. "The launch of ASUS P4S13G assures that our customers have access to the world's fastest motherboard, as well as a superior performance alternative to motherboards with dual DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory memory," said Do-Chan Choi, director of product planning at Samsung Electronics Corporation. "The four-channel architecture allows our customers to scale to even higher performance with future products using the forthcoming 1600MHz RDRAM." Along with the highest memory bandwidth of four-channel RDRAM, the P4S13G supports a low-latency architecture and advanced features such as dynamic look-ahead cache and adaptive page management to significantly improve memory access speed. To harness even more power out of the Pentium(R) 4 CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. with 800MHz FSB, the P4S13G supports Advanced HyperStreaming(TM) Engine (AHSE AHSE Advances in Health Sciences Education (journal) AHSE Assembly and Handling Support Equipment AHSE Advanced Hyper Streaming Engine ) technology. "As faster processors and new I/O standards come to market, PC motherboards will need faster memory performance," said Rich Warmke, director of marketing at Rambus. "Rambus will continue to work with industry leaders such as ASUS and Samsung to bring highest performance solutions to desktop PCs." The P4S13G offers superior memory performance compared with that of existing DDR 400 solutions. Combined with maximum support up to 4GB ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. or Non ECC unbuffered RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) See RDRAM. See also RIM. modules, the P4S13G is tailor made for the most memory-intensive applications. Key specifications: -- 800MHz FSB Intel(R) Pentium 4 Processor -- Four-channel RDRAM, 9.6GByte/sec memory bandwidth -- Maximum capacity 4GByte -- AGP 8x support -- Serial ATA RAID -- 1 x Gigabit LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. -- IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11abg Wi-Fi -- 6 channel audio CODEC About ASUS Established in 1989, ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
