0Note: Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications. We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, SDRAM, Cards….etc.

Line Out 1: Line Out or SPDIF (The SPDIF output is capable of providing digital audio to external speakers or compressed AC3 data to an external Dolby digital decoder). In general, Line Out 1 is normally Line Out, when it output digital signal, it will be change to SPDIF Out automatically (see page 52 for more information). Line In: In general, Line In is normally Line In. When you select “Four Speaker” in Creative application (see page 50 for more information), Line In will be change to Line Out 2, then you can plug 2 pairs stereo speaker into Line Out 1 and Line In simultaneously.
