ASUS P2Z-B User’s Manual 9

Special Features:

• Enhanced ACPI and Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Features a programmable BIOS,

offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firmware-based

virus protection through Trend ChipAway Virus codes, and autodetection of most

devices for virtually automatic setup.

• 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 of

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 Windows 95/98/NT.

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

onboard SYMBIOS firmware.

Performance Features:

• 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. The best of all is that this new technol-

ogy is compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE specs so there is no need to upgrade

current hard drives or cables.

• 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 SDRAM.
