2.1 The ASUS ME-99B Motherboard
The ASUS ME-99B motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user
who wants many intelligent features in a small package.
2.1.1 Specifications
• Intel Processor Support: Supports Intel’s Celeron processor designed for the
Socket 370 and packaged in Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA).
• SiS AGPset: SiS’ 620 AGPset with a built-in 6326 AGP 2X graphics controller
supports a 100MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and UltraDMA/66, which allows burst
mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MBps.
• Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
• Versatile Memory: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100-
compliant SDRAMs (up to 768MB).
• Integrated Graphics: Integrated AGP 2X graphics controller can use shared
system memory or optional dedicated onboard VGA memory (up to 8MB
SDRAM).
• Onboard Audio (optional): Features an ESS
®
Solo-1 PCI audio chipset with
3D surround and positioning capability and integrated audio CODEC.
• Digital Flat Panel Interface (w/optional LCD chip): A direct digital connec-
tion is provided for connecting a digital flat panel to your PC. This interface
transmits sharp, bright images by eliminating digital-to-analog and analog-to-
digital conversions, which can accumulate noise and degrade image quality.
• TV Out (w/optional TV Out chip): Supports optional onboard TV out function.
• PCI & ISA Expansion: Provides four 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA expansion slots.
• Wake-On-LAN Connector: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an op-
tional Ethernet card (see 7.1 ASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet Card).
• Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and
one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)
• IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
