Key Features
The Ultra ATA interface enables the Ultra DMA/33 protocol to increase the
burst data transfer rate to 33 megabytes per second. Additionally, Ultra ATA
provides new data verification checks to ensure that transferred data is not
corrupted. Ultra ATA maintains backward compatibility with the existing
ATA standard for IDE devices. Devices which transfer data at different
speeds may be connected to the same Ultra ATA data cable; the system will
detect and use the correct speed for each device.
With the Multi Boot feature, the order in which the PC will boot from your
devices is no longer determined by the physical connection. The user can
connect IDE devices to the Ultra ATA cable in any order and then select the
boot order for all bootable drives (including floppy drive, CD-ROM drive,
and SCSI drives) with the HP Setup program.
This Intel chipset is optimized for Pentium II processor-based systems. It
supports ACPI for increased manageability across the corporate network. It
is AGP-enabled for enhanced graphics performance. The chipset also
provides support for Ultra DMA/33.
ACPI is an open standard for enabling the operating system to control power
management in a PC. It enables a PC to switch on instantly when the user
needs it and remains available for remote management when switched off.
AGP technology accelerates the flow of data between the Pentium II
processor, the video graphics controller, and system memory. It also takes
away graphics tasks from the PCI bus, freeing PCI bandwidth for other
I/O-intensive applications. The integrated Matrox Productiva3D
accelerator supports AGP, and uses Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM)
memory architecture, to increase bandwidth for graphics-intensive
functions.
Users can connect USB accessories to the PC without any need to remove
the cover or restart the operating system, reducing support costs. Note that
USB is not supported by all operating systems, or operating system
revisions.
