Taipei, Taiwan, September 17th 2003- ABIT
μGuru is the first true artificial intelligence system to be integrated
onto a motherboard. ABIT μGuru is a new microprocessor designed by the
ABIT Engineers for use only on  ABIT
motherboards and which allows end-users to reach a higher state of hardware
awareness and enlightenment. μGuru acts as a spiritual guide, sharing
with ABIT users, tips for hardware monitoring, overclocking, BIOS flashing
and audio tweaking functions in an easy to use, Windows-based interface.
As a part of the motherboard, only μGuru can completely understand how
to optimize the motherboard for ultimate performance. What truly sets
μGuru apart is it's onboard memory that allows users to save their favorite
overclocking settings for specific applications.
μGuru combines the ABIT Engineered features ABIT EQ, ABIT FanEQ, ABIT
OC Guru, ABIT FlashMenu, ABIT AudioEQ and ABIT BlackBox into a user-friendly
interface providing users the perfect environment with which to maximize
performance and stability. Operating as an independent micro-processor,
μGuru effectively frees your CPU resources from performing these functions,
further increasing system performance.
With μGuru, end-users will learn the way of performance nirvana and become
one with their systems. Without μGuru, the path to higher performance
is fraught with peril and disappointment.
Windows-based Overclocking: OC Guru
  OC
Guru is a Windows-based overclocking utility that works through the μGuru
processor. With OC Guru, users can adjust CPU, AGP and memory voltage
to find optimal system performance, as well as up the clock speed of the
CPU by changing the front side bus speed. OC Guru also gives users the
option of saving up to 3 different settings for specific applications,
such as gaming, web surfing and CD burning or for 3 different users on
the same system.
ABIT Black Box: Personalized Global Service
  With
ABIT BlackBox, ABIT takes yet another step ahead of the competition in
terms of service. BlackBox does exactly what you think it might: in the
event of a system problem or crash, it records vital system information
that the ABIT Engineers can use to determine the extent of the problem.
Furthermore, it includes an automatic ABIT tech support email feature
which relays this information to ABIT at the touch of a button. No more
relaying emails back and forth. ABIT BlackBox is another step in ABIT's
quest to provide personalized global service for every end-user, in every
country.
ABIT Audio EQ: Interactive Hardware for Audiophiles
  ABIT
Audio EQ is the first hardware-based audio enhancement software for onboard
sound. The goal with Audio EQ was to make onboard sound comparable to
your home stereo. Developed at the ABIT Audio Research Laboratories in
Taipei, Taiwan by the same team that brought Dolby Digital sound to ABIT
motherboards, Audio EQ uses an ABIT-designed audio codec that provides
end-users with several useful functions. The Equalizer is modeled on high-end
graphic equalizers found in expensive sound cards and home stereos. Home
stereo sound is provided through settings from +12 Db- -12Db in 5 phases
and 100 Hz-16 KHz in 10 phases. Audio EQ also features sound effect settings
for optimal audio output while gaming, watching DVDs, or even singing
karaoke! Furthermore, Audio EQ features jack sensing to eliminate the
frustration of connecting audio peripherals and SPDIF In and Out for more
advanced peripherals.
ABIT Fan EQ: The Intelligent Fan
  Originally
activated through ABIT Softmenu™, Fan EQ is now part of μGuru. The
ABIT FanEQ cooling system intelligently and automatically adjusts CPU
fan speed according to system load and temperature. Not only do many CPU
cooling fans sound like a 747 during take-off, low fan speeds provide
inadequate cooling and can lead to system overheating.
Incorporating an ABIT-developed ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit), which monitors CPU temperature and adjusts fan speed, the FanEQ
technology automatically lowers fan speed when CPU temperature is decreased
due to lighter system load, ensuring a quiet computing environment. And
of course, when system load increases CPU temperature, particularly in
instances of extreme overclocking, FanEQ pumps up fan speed to gale-force
levels for cool and stable system performance. With FanEQ, ABIT overclockers
have no need for expensive after-market cooling solutions, nor do they
have to worry about their system temperature while tweaking their system
way beyond spec.
