Asus M4A78 Pro - Manual (Page 14)

AMD ® 780G chipset
The AMD 780G Northbridge is the latest AMD chipset designed for both
HT1.0 and 5200MT/s HyperTransport™ 3.0 (HT 3.0) interface speed and
external graphics in PCI Express 2.0 standard. It features the integrated
ATI RV610-based graphics and fully Directx 10.0 compliant.
Dual channel DDR2 1066 support
This motherboard supports DDR2 1066, which provides faster data
transfer rate and more bandwidth to increase memory data transfer rate
and computing efficiency. This enhances system performance in 3D
graphics and other memory demanding applications.
Due to AM2+ CPU limitation, only one DDR2 1066 is supported per channel. When four
DDR2 1066 DIMMs are installed, all DIMMs run at 800MHz frequency by default for
system stability.
AMD ® Hybrid CrossFireX Technology
Hybrid CrossFireX Technology is a unique multi-GPU technology
combining the onboard GPU and the discrete graphics card together to
enhance 3D graphics performance.

ASUS Power Solution
ASUS 4+1 Phase Power Design
To fully unleash the next-generation AM3 CPU’s potential, ASUS M4A78
PRO motherboard has adopted a brand-new 4-phase VRM power
design. It delivers high power efficiency and supreme overclocking ability.
Furthermore, high quality power components can effective lower system
temperature to ensure longer component lifespan. ASUS M4A78 PRO also
features an extra 1-phase power for integrated memory/HT controller to
provide independent power to vital components.
ASUS EPU
The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system energy
efficiency by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating
power in real-time. It automatically provides the most appropriate power
usage for the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives, and system
fans—helping save power and money!
ASUS Anti-Surge
This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard from
damage caused by lighting strikes or power surges.
