Well, i have had Asus motherboards, I have done cmos clear on them, an yes, acording to the manual that is the procedure one should take, BUT, if you do not remove the battery CMOS clear takes place like it should with no damage to the battery. All motherboards do have that power circuitry that way, because it is the simplest, most cost effective way of doing it while providing the reliability nessesary. So far I have experience with several modelsof Abit, ASRock, Asus, DFI, Epox, Gigabyte, Intel and MSI motherboards and all of them have had that same basic circuit for that purpouse.
