North Bridge System Chipset: Features the VIA VT82C694Z system controller
or VIA Apollo Pro133Z PCI-to-ISA bridge with support for AGP 4x mode; 133/
100/66MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); and 133MHz memory bus.
•
South Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT82C686A PCIset with PCI Super I/O
integrated peripheral controller supports UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode
data transfer rates of up to 66.6MB/sec; AC97 audio; and four USB ports.
•
PC133 SDRAM / VC133 VCM / HSDRAM Support: Equipped with three
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support Intel PC133/PC100-
compliant (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB), NEC's VC133-compliant Virtual
Channel (VC) SDRAM, or Enhanced Memory System's High-speed DRAMs
(HSDRAMs) up to 1.5GB. VC SDRAM and HSDRAM are new DRAM core
architectures that dramatically improves the memory system's ability to service,
among others, high multimedia requirements.
•
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.
•
Multi-Cache: Supports processors with 512, 256, 128, or 0KB Pipelined Burst
Level 2 cache.
•
AGP Pro Slot: Supports AGP/AGP Pro cards for high performance, component
level interconnection targeted at 3D graphical applications supporting 133MHz
4X mode.
•
UltraDMA/66 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE control-
ler with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Sup-
ports 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.
•
Wake-On-LAN Connector: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an op-
tional ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card (see 7. Appendix).
