Enhanced technology in audio. The mainboard also supports three 32-bit
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus standard slots.
®
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Aladdin
5 chipset to support the
PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The
®
Aladdin
5 chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
®
function. The Aladdin
5 chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfer data at the rate of 33MB/s.
