8 ASUS P2B-F User’s Manual
Features of the ASUS P2B-F Motherboard
The ASUS P2B-F is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants ad-
vanced 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 440BX AGPset with I/O subsystems and front-side
bus (FSB) platform, which boosts the traditional 66MHz external bus speed to 100MHz.
• Multi-Cache: Supports processors with 512, 128, or 0KB Pipelined Burst Level
2 cache.
• PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with four DIMM sockets to support Intel
PC100-compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 1024MB. 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: Accurately detects the CPU
temperature with the ASUS Smart Fan or the Intel boxed processor heatsink
with fan when connected to an 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 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 five 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA slots.
One ISA slot is shared with a PCI slot.
• Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one paral-
lel 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 con-
troller 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, and LS-120 drives.
