2.1.2 Performance
• ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features employed in the OS,
PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To
fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98.
• PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series
motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems
and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug-
n-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.
• High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the
onboard IDE bus master controller. doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer
rate to 66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/
33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/
IDE drives. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).
• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master
busses to the memory and processor.
• VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new
generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry
standard SDRAM. The VCM core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM
speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also
supports the standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.064GB/s using
PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant
SDRAMs.
