Redefine Extreme Performance with the Supernova
Beginning with a simply stunning platform, this system offers high performance, multitasking muscle, and amazing graphics capability. The ASUS Vento case is the base for our Supernova series of systems. Maximum cooling efficiency, unique features, and a commanding appearance combine to outshine any other system out there.

AMD64 Technology
Supernova high-performance systems with AMD64 technology combine innovation, simplicity, and the foresight to deliver next generation computing performance - today. Evolving yesterday's industry-standard technology from a 32- to a 64-bit architecture, Supernova high-performance systems improve performance across all popular applications, allowing operating systems and software applications alike to process increased amounts of data. Powered by AMD64 technology, Supernova systems are prepared for the 64-bit world of computing to come, ensuring a high-performance computing experience well into the future.

High Performance Sound (optional) Supernova has the acoustical advantage you need! In this technological world of MP3s, high-impact video games, CDs, and DVDs, stereo-quality sound for your PC is a must. The Aurora system has the muscle to support up to 24-bit / 192kHz of stunning sonic satisfaction.

Do not underestimate the impact of quality audio to set the mood and secure the advantage for your 3D adventures. EAX® ADVANCED HDT sound effects infused into today's top game titles can provide dramatically increased audio fidelity and rich sonic environments for an unsurpassed digital entertainment experience. With the comprehensive acoustic management available only on the Supernova system, diverse and gripping challenges are taken to a new level of excitement. Small details like the ticking of a clock in your left ear and the rustle of leaves in your right will not escape your notice. The distinctive sound of a creature's hiss will prepare you for a timely preemptive strike. Distinguish ambient sounds from true danger lurking just around the corner. Learn the nuances of stealth play and the benefits of avoiding detection, an undeniable advantage provided by Supernova's high-performance audio.

The Supernova system is also THX®-ready. Once you hear the audio realism generated by the Supernova, you will be ready to abandon the TV for the PC. Big screen movies, particularly action thrillers, are enhanced by dramatic sound effects. An ordinary TV alone cannot deliver an acoustical, cinema-quality experience. The Supernova supports multiple speakers to deliver superior audio fidelity and flexibility in Dolby® Digital, Dolby® Digital EX, and DTS-ES DVD.
