2.1.2 Specifications–Optional Components
The following onboard components are optional at the time of purchase:
•
Networking: Features Realtek

Onboard USB Hub: Features AU9254.
2.1.3 Performance
•
UltraPerformance: Onboard IDE Bus Master controller with two connectors that
support four IDE devices in two channels. Supports UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33
(IDE DMA Mode 2), PIO Modes 3 & 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such
as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
•
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/66 Bus
Master IDE can handle rates up to 66.6MB/s with existing DMA devices.
(UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable to be enabled.)
•
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter buses to memory and processor.
•
SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133-com-
pliant Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which increases
the data transfer rate to 1066MB/s max.
•
ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also imple-
mented on all smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy Saving
Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power Man-
agement (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS, PCs
can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards. To
fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows 98,
must be used.
•
New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet
the stringent requirements for PC 99 certification. The new PC 99 requirements
for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: sup-
port for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring
and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation
procedures for Windows 95/98/NT. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons
make identification easy as required by PC 99.
