8 ASUS P3C-D User’s Manual
2.1 The ASUS P3C-D
The ASUS P3C-D motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user
who wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors.
2.1.1 Specifications
• Latest Intel Processor Support
Intel Pentium
® III 100MHz FSB, Katmai core SECC2
Intel Pentium ® III B 133MHz FSB, Katmai core SECC2
Intel Pentium ® III E 100MHz FSB, Coppermine core SECC2
Intel Pentium ® III EB 133MHz FSB, Coppermine core SECC2
Intel Pentium ® II 100MHz FSB SECC
• Intel 820 Chipset: Features the Intel ® 820 chipset (Memory Controller Hub and
I/O Controller Hub) with support for AGP 4X mode, which can transport twice
the amount of data to the current AGP standard; 100/133MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB); UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to
66.6MBps; and Intel Random Number Generator (RNG), which will improve
cryptography, digital signing, and other security protocols.
• PC800 Memory Support: Equipped with three Rambus Inline Memory Module
(RIMM) sockets. First two sockets support Intel PC800/PC700/PC600-compli-
ant Rambus DRAMs (RDRAMs) (available in 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB
densities) up to 1GB. These RDRAMs are necessary to meet the increase in pro-
cessor performance and multimedia and 3D functions, especially where high band-
width and low latency are required. Third socket accepts Intel PC100-compliant
SDRAMs (16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB) up to 1GB by using an ASUS DR1
DIMM Riser (available separately as an option).
• AGP Pro Slot: Supports the new Accelerated Graphics Port Pro card for high
performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical applica-
tions using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus.
• 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.
• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring activity.
• JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre-
quency all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode is enabled. Easy-to-
use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow manual adjustment of
the processor’s external frequency.
• Around-the-Clock Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log chas-
sis panel open events into LDCM. The onboard battery supports detection even
when normal power is removed and through a new design, battery drain is even
lower than the RTC used for keeping time!
