8 ASUS P2-99B User’s Manual
Features of the ASUS P2-99B Motherboard
The ASUS P2-99B is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants
advanced features processed by the fastest CPU.
Specifications:
• Multi-Speed: Supports Intel Pentium
®
III (450MHz and faster), Pentium
®
II
(233MHz to 450MHz), and Celeron
TM
(266MHz and faster) processors.
• Intel AGPset: Features Intel’s 440ZX AGPset with I/O subsystems and front-
side bus (FSB) platform, which boosts the traditional 66MHz internal bus speed
to 100MHz.
• Multi-Cache: Supports processors with 512, 128, or 0KB Pipelined Burst Level
2 cache.
• PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel
PC100-compliant SDRAMs up to 512MB. These new SDRAMs are necessary
to meet the critical enhanced 100MHz bus speed requirement.
• Peripheral Wake Up: Supports modem wake up, keyboard wake up, and LAN
card wake up functions from sleep or soft-off mode.
• Thermal Sensor Connector with Optional Sensor (only w/hardware monitor):
Accurately detects the CPU temperature with the ASUS Smart Fan or the Intel boxed
processor heatsink with fan when connected to an optional ASUS P2T-Cable.
• PC Health Monitoring (optional): Provides an easier way to examine and man-
age system status information such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures,
and fan status through the onboard hardware monitor ASIC and the bundled
LDCM by Intel or PC Probe from ASUS.
• AGP Slot: Supports an Accelerated Graphics Port card for high performance,
component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications us-
ing a 1X or 2X mode bus.
• SB-Link™: Features Creative’s SB-Link™, allowing SB16 compatibility, us-
ing Intel’s PC-PCI DMA and serialized IRQ protocols, to AWE64D or compat-
ible PCI audio cards.
• SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physi-
cally transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
• PCI & ISA Expansion Slots: Provides three 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA
slots.
• Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one par-
allel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from
COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections.
• UltraDMA/33 Bus Master IDE: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels,
supports UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2,
and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as Tape Backup and CD-ROM, CD-
R, CD-RW and LS-120 drives.
