• 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, which will improve cryptog-
raphy, 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 (16, 32,
64, 128, 256, or 512MB) up to 1GB by using an ASUS DR2 DIMM Riser (avail-
able separately as an option).
• AGP Pro Slot: Supports the new Accelerated Graphics Port Pro card for high
performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical applica-
tions 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.
• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring activity.
• 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.
