Overclock the CPU Speed by Up to 20%
With the help of the ASUS exclusive "Turbo Gear" CPU speed controller, the ultimate performance under specific selected modes (Overclocking*, Gaming*, Standard, and Power Saving) can be reached. In Overclocking mode, the CPU speed can be boosted up to 2.93GHz and the FSB up to 1279. In addition, the fan-control & multi-heat pipe thermal module provides extraordinary overclocking abilities and reliable computing operations wherever, whenever.
Powerful Portable Desktop Performance
The ASUS C90 comes equipped with a desktop CPU that supports the Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor ? providing faster processing performance that far exceeds normal mobile PC standards. Along with an easily upgradable Mobile PCI Express Graphics Module that supports up to GeForce 8600M GT 512MB, and SDRAM memory support of up to 3GB Dual Channel DDRII 800MHz, the C90 provides a much needed power machine option for hardcore power users.
Exclusive ACE Door for Easy and Quick Configurations
The ASUS C90 is uniquely designed to provide easy hardware access with its ACE Door ( Accessible, Convenient, Effortless ). This innovation allows quick and simple upgrading, installation and repair of key components like the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, optical drive and wireless components.
Top-of-the-line Multimedia Enjoyment
A built-in 2.0 mega-pixel rotating CMOS camera with face tracking function provides vivid video conferencing anytime, anywhere.
