ASUS P3B-1394 User’s Manual

2.1.2 Special Features

• 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 implemented in the OS,

PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards.

To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows

98 must be used.

• Suspend and Go: Suspend-to-RAM provides maximum power savings as an

alternative to leaving the computer ON and QuickStart

so that you do not fall

asleep waiting for system bootup (Suspend-to-RAM supported OS required).

• 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.)

• Easy Installation: Incorporates BIOS that supports autodetection of hard disk

drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make the setup of hard disk

drives, expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.

• PC’98 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series

motherboards meet PC’98 compliancy. The new PC’98 requirements for sys-

tems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for

Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and man-

aging all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation proce-

dures for Windows95/98/NT .

• Symbios SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through

the onboard SYMBIOS firmware.

2.1.3 Performance Features

• 1394 for High Speed Bi-Directional Data Transfer (100/200/400Mbps): Fast-

est interface for existing and future consumer electronics devices.

• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-

ter busses to the memory and processor.

• Double the IDE Transfer Speed: ASUS smart series motherboards with Intel

chipsets improves IDE transfer rate using Bus Master UltraDMA/33 IDE which

can handle data transfer up to 33MB/s.

• SDRAM Optimized Performance: Supports the new generation memory - Syn-

chronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) which increases the data

transfer rate to 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant SDRAM.
