controller supports a 266MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), supports DDR SDRAM
DIMM, complies with AGP 2.0 specifications for 4X, 2X and 1X AGP modes
and PCI 2.2. bus interface with support for 5 PCI masters. It is optimized to
deliver enhanced AMD Athlon™ processor system performance.
PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller (PSIPC) with support for
UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/sec;
AC97 audio; USB controller with root hub and four function ports.
•PC2100 / PC1600 DDR SDRAM Support: Equipped with two Double Data
Rate Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR DIMM) sockets to support up to 2GB of
DDR SDRAM. DDR SDRAM is the newest memory standard with the highest
bandwidth and lowest latency currently available and dramatically improves the
memory system’ s ability to service, among others, high multimedia requirements.
•Universal AGP 4X Slot: Supports universal AGP/AGP 4X cards for high per-
formance, component level interconnection targeted at 3D graphical applications supporting 133MHz 4X mode.
•UltraDMA/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE con-
troller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus
Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM,
CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.

compatibility , built-in firmware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most
devices for virtually automatic setup.
•Integrated Infrared (IrDA) Support: (optional) Integrated IR supports an op-
tional remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals,
personal gadgets, or an optional remote controller.

the stringent requirements for PC 99 certification. 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 W indows95/98/NT. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons
make identification easy as required by PC 99.
•High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/33 Bus
Master IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/s. This motherboard with its chipset
and support for UltraDMA/100 increases the data transfer rate to 100MB/s.
UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, 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. (UltraDMA100/66 requires a 40-pin 80conductor cable to be enabled.)
•DDR SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new gen-
eration memory, Double Data Rate (DDR) Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM), which is compatible to the industry standard SDRAM. This new memory
technology increases performance by executing two actions per clock cycle,
resulting in data transfer rates of up to 2.1 GB/s for 133MHz DDR SDRAM and
1.6GB/s for 100MHz DDR SDRAM.
