2. FEATURES

2.1.2 Performance

• 200/133MHz or 200/100MHz Synchronous Host/DRAM Clock Support:

CPU frequency can operate at 200MHz while system memory operates at

133MHz or 100MHz.

• High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: This motherboard with its chipset and

support for UltraDMA/66 doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer rate to

66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/66 is backward compatible with both DMA/33 and DMA

and with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to upgrade

current EIDE/IDE drives and host systems. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin

80-conductor cable to be enabled and/or for UltraDMA Mode 4.)

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

ter buses to memory to CPU.

• VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new gen-

eration memory, NEC’s 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous

Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which is compatible to the indus-

try standard SDRAM. The VCM’s core design provides up to 50% higher

SDRAM speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard

also supports standard SDRAM, which increases the data transfer rate (1.064GB/s

max using PC133-compliant SDRAMs and 800MB/s max using PC100-compli-

ant SDRAMs).

• ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) provides

more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS

Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-

mented 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.

• New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meets

PC 99 compliancy. The new PC 99 requirements for systems and components are

based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and 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.
