Intel 820 Chipset: Features the Intel
I/O Controller Hub) with support for AGP 4X mode, which can transport twice
the amount of data to the current AGP standard; 100/133MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB); UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to
66.6MBps; and Intel Random Number Generator (RNG), which will improve
cryptography, digital signing, and other security protocols.
•
PC800 Memory Support: Equipped with two Rambus Inline Memory Module
(RIMM) sockets to support Intel PC800/PC700/PC600-compliant Rambus
DRAMs (RDRAMs) (available in 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB densities) up to
1GB. These RDRAMs are necessary to meet the increase in processor perfor-
mance and multimedia and 3D functions, especially where high bandwidth is
required. These sockets also accept Intel PC100-compliant SDRAMs ( 64, 128,
256, or 512MB) up to 1GB by using an ASUS DR2 DIMM Riser (available
separately as an option).
•
AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an onboard Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that
supports AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect tar-
geted at 3D graphical applications using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus.
•
UltraDMA/66 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller
with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports
UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode
2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120,
and Tape Backup drives.
•
JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre-
quency and Vcore voltage all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode is
enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow
manual adjustment of the processor's external frequency.
•
Wired for Management (WfM) V2.0 Support: Supports remote monitor, di-
agnosis, and management (Alert-On-LAN) in network configuration.
•
Firmware Hub: Provides security enhancements in computer platforms, such as RNG.
•
Low Pin Count (LPC) Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible
serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can
also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections.
•
IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
•
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter busses to the memory and processor.
