AMD Live??? What does it do?

[Fraggle1]

Hi,

I have 2 ASUS motherboards, M2A-VM HDMI and M2NPV-VM, both have a BIOS option to enable AMD live. Does anyone know what this option does and whether it is worth enabling?

I know it should be an easy question to lookup on the internet but I cant find many good answers.

Thanks.

Hi Fraggle

It's the AMD away mode implementation, similar to the intel energylake options. It;s about the machine appearing to power down when in fact it is still ready for action.

Searching on "Away Mode" will give you a better idea of the BIOS feature, as opposed to searching on AMD Live which will more likely give you hits on additional services provided to Media Center users.

Hi Windeath

Nope, not willing to admit that I am wrong. Never, ever, ever...

The original question was asking about the AMD Live! BIOS option, not the AMD Live!branding.

I dare not mention the AMD Live! Digital Audio and Video Solutions for Creative Professionals, which was the first usage AMD got out of AMD Live! branding.

Then I stand corrected.
