DFI Revolutionizes the Concept of Overclocking with the Launch of CMOS Reloaded

Hayward, CA (September 16, 2003) - DFI, the worldwide leader in performanceand corporate motherboard design, today announced the release of CMOS ReloadedÒoverclocking utility suite for hardware enthusiasts. Complementing DFI'sproprietary Genie BIOS menu and Live Update for BIOS, drivers and utilities,CMOS ReloadedÒ enables users to save their overclock settings with personalizednames and switch between configurations simultaneously.

The Revolutionary Change Since Jumperless
Changing the way enthusiasts "tweak", CMOS Reloaded removes the need to manuallyrecord settings on paper and reset configurations during the trial and errorprocess. Unlike conventional motherboards that allow for only one set of CMOSconfiguration, DFI's new technology offers up to 4 sets per computer. Dependingon the application used and the processing power needed, users can choosebetween configurations to maximize resources and take full advantage of what PCshave to offer.

Advanced CMOS Functionality
Combining hardware design and software engineering, CMOS Reloaded allows usersto save their desired configuration settings using the Backup command. Variablebetween motherboard models, the user can save from 2 to 4 sets of configurationswith different operating systems associated with each. Whether it is used forintensive gaming, complicated computer development environment or simple Wordprocessing, the user can choose to Load any one of the previously savedconfigurations to meet the requirements. To further provide a seamless switchbetween configurations, users are now able to define their own "hot keys" andbypass the lengthy process. Echoing the trend and to satisfy the need forpersonalization when a perfect "tweak" is achieved, CMOS Reloaded's Renamefeature allows configurations to be saved to reflect their significance. Be itthe overclocker's name, a date, or a high score, CMOS Reloaded offers completecustomization for the true enthusiasts.

CMOS Reloaded will be officially launched at Computex on September 23, 2003. Forinformation on the press conference, please contact PR@dfiweb.com.
