ASUS CUSL2 Socket-370 i815 ATX

With the CUSL2, ASUS also introduces another new innovation for their motherboards, known as the ASUS iPanel. It sits in an external 5.25" drive bay and provides access to the onboard audio ports, an infrared module, and front panel I/O ports, all while leaving room for an internal 3.5" device inside the iPanel so that 5.25" bay is not completely wasted. The exact specs of the iPanel have yet to be determined so they are subject to change. It will be an extra cost option not included with the motherboard.
Like all recent ASUS boards, the CUSL2 uses Award's Medallion BIOS 6.00, which looks a lot like the old Phoenix BIOS, most likely due to the merger between Phoenix and Award last year. While the Medallion BIOS looks and operates like a Phoenix BIOS, it offers all the tweaking options we've come to expect from the standard Award setup found on virtually all other boards out there. When it comes to BIOS support, ASUS is quite possibly the best manufacturer, with constant BIOS updates and betas available seemingly every week. In the past, they've continued that support with fixes and new features even after the board has been discontinued.
Within the BIOS, you'll find ASUS's JumperFree CPU Setup under the "Advanced" menu. For those of you that prefer a hardware CPU setup, DIP switches are available on the board, although not all the FSB speeds of JumperFree are available. The rendition of JumperFree on the CUSL2 is one of the most flexible CPU setup we've ever seen, at least in terms of available FSB speeds where it has more than any other board, including the previous champ ABIT BE6-2. ASUS allows independent selection of the FSB:SDRAM:PCI ratio and the actual FSB speed. Available options for the FSB:SDRAM:PCI ratio include 133:133:33, 133:100:33, 100:100:33, and 66:100:33. Each ratio includes its own set of FSB options, which are shown in the table below since it's a bit more complicated than most motherboards.
