Hardware Overview
The Compaq NC3131 Fast Ethernet NIC is a high performance, upgradeable
NIC with two fully integrated 10Base-T/100Base-TX networking chips. The
NIC supports emerging standards for system manageability and power
management, such as ACPI.
The Compaq NC3131 NIC is a sophisticated 64-bit PCI component with
enhanced scatter-gather bus-mastering capabilities. Its true 64-bit architecture
enables it to perform high-speed data transfers on the PCI bus using four DMA
channels. Its sophisticated microcode-based engine enables the controllers to
process high level commands and perform multiple operations without CPU
intervention. The NC3131 also operates in a standard 32-bit PCI slot and will
support both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
