Note: Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s

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,

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.
