2.1.1 Specifications
• Latest Processor Support
Intel Pentium
® III 100/133MHz FSB Coppermine core FC-PGA
Intel Celeron™ 66MHz FSB Coppermine core FC-PGA
Intel Celeron™ 66MHz FSB Mendocino core PPGA
• SiS AGPset: SiS 630E AGPset with integrated SiS300 AGP graphics controller
supports a 133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and UltraDMA/66, which allows
burst mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MB/sec.
• PC100/133 and VCM Memory Support: Equipped with two Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support Intel PC100/133-compliant
SDRAMs (available in 64, 128, 256, or 512MB densities) up to 1GB.
• UltraDMA/66 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller
with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports
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.
• Form Factor for Easy-to-Use PC: Designed for small-size easy-to-use PCs,
this new highly flexible form factor reduces the motherboard size by as much as
25% over the microATX design.
• More USB Ports: Supports a total of 5 USB ports for more peripheral connec-
tivity options.
• Peripheral Wakeup: Supports Wakeup on LAN, USB, and PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard.
• SMBus: Features the System Management Bus interface, which is used to physi-
cally transport commands and information between SMBus devices.
• PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to examine and manage system
status information, such as CPU and systerm voltages, temperatures, and fan
status through the onboard hardware ITE 8705 and the bundled ASUS PC Probe.
• AMR Slot: Audio Modem Riser slot supports a very affordable audio and/or
modem riser card.
• Legacy Free: Provides two 32-bit PCI (Asynchronous PCI 2.2 compliant) with
no ISA, eliminating bottlenecks and system memory management issues. All
PCI slots can support Bus Master PCI cards, such as SCSI or LAN cards. (PCI
supports up to 133MB/s maximum throughput.)
• Low Pin Count (LPC) Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible
serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can
also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections.
