Chapter 5: Special Features
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
SDRAM is memory that can synchronize itself with the
computer's clock. This synchronization reduces time
delays and allows for fast consecutive read and write
c a p a b i l i t y .
SDRAM can
add as much as
10% to the
overall system performance.
Intel's release of the 440BX AGPset allows SDRAM to
operate up to a new standard at 100MHz. At these speeds,
a new standard of SDRAM or PC-100 SDRAM is
required. PC-100 MHz memory is backwards compatible
to run at 66MHz, however, a non PC-100 SDRAM may not
be used on a 100MHz FSB system.
Wake On LAN
feature offers you a way to access a local-area or wide-
This
area network or modem to turn on desktop PCs remotely.
The wake-up control located on the Micronics C400
system board collects input from a Wake On LAN enabled
adapter and the PC's power switch. It then routes its
output to the power-supply activation circuitry. You can
power up your PC or multiple PCs from a remote location
and manage networks more efficiently.
Wake On LAN, along with system management tools such
as Intel LANDesk Client Manager, can work together to
cut computing costs by allowing time-consuming PC man-
agement tasks to be done when network bandwidth is less
demanding.
