The ASUS TUSL2-M motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user
who wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors.
2.1.1 Specifications
• Latest Intel Processor Support
®
PIII Tualatin™
®
PIII Coppermine™
Celeron™
• North Bridge System Chipset: The Intel
Hub (GMCH) chipset supports 66/100/133 Front Side Bus (FSB), up to 512MB
of PC100/PC133 SDRAM, and AGP 4X interface which delivers twice the
amount of data than the current AGP standard.
• South Bridge System Chipset: The Intel
delivers twice the I/O bandwidth, and supports UltraDMA/100, allowing burst
mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/sec. Two USB controllers provides
four USB ports.
®
• Intel Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub
link between the ICH2 and GMCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec – twice the
maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.
• PC100/PC133 Memory Support: Equipped with three Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets which support PC133/PC100 non-ECC SDRAMs
(available in 64, 128, 256, 512Mb densities) up to 512MB.
• UltraDMA33/66/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels.
Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and
up to four ATAPI devices like DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and
tape backup drives.
• ASUS JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking
of frequency 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 external frequency.
• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring, Keyboard
Wake-Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.
• Around-the-Clock Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log
chassis open events into LDCM. The onboard battery supports detection even
when normal power is removed and through a new design, battery drain is even
lower than the RTC used for keeping time!
• PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to examine and manage system
status information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan
status through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC
Probe or Intel LDCM software.
