2.1.2 Performance

• 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 employed in the OS,

PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To

fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98.

• PC’99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series

motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 requirements for systems

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

n-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. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make

identification easy as required by PC’99.

• High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the

onboard IDE bus master controller. doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer

rate to 66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/

33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/

IDE drives. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).

• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master

busses to the memory and processor.

• VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new

generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous

Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry

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

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

supports the standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.064GB/s using

PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant

SDRAMs.
