Tech Talk
Hyper-Threading: A Hyper-Threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.

Customer Reviews:
My first impressions...........2004-01-02
Here is my opinion:
[1] DVD Full Screen playback - excellent. Flawless.
[2] DVD burning: Failed many times with DvdToCopy. Worked fine with Arcsoft's ShowBiz (shipped), Which is again very minimal version.
[3] Recovery CD's: Doesn't ship on a different CD. Uses disk partition. You can copy it to a DVD, But only once lifetime.
[4] Mouse freeze: When you install any software, the cpu shows 100% and the mouse freezes. Takes sometime for mouse release.
[5] CDROM Noise: access to CDROM makes noise.
[6] The above two points might be because of the ASUS technology(mother board and CDROM drives).
[7] Support: International support center. Its hard to understand them. I would say chaos. Be prepared to give your contact info, even for product enquiry. Don't forget to remind that you aren't their client for product enquiry.
If you can afford few bucks more:
[1]buy one with Intel Motherboard.
[2]buy one with DVD+/-RW support.
