2.1.1 Core Specifications
•
AMD
®
Athlon™/ Duron™ Processor Support: Supports AMD’s new socket-
A Palomino™ / Thunderbird™ processor cores.
•
North Bridge System Chipset: ALi M1647™ chipset with AGP/PCI/Memory
controller supports a 133/100MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), supports standard
PC133/100 SDRAM DIMM, and complies with AGP 2.0 specifications for 4X,
2X and 1X AGP modes and PCI 2.2. bus interface. It is optimized to deliver
enhanced AMD Athlon™ processor system performance.
•
South Bridge System PCIset: ALi M1535D+™ PCIset with PCI Super-I/O In-
tegrated 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.
•
PC133 SDRAM Support: Equipped with three SDR DIMMs supporting PC133/
PC100 compliant (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) modules up to 3GB of
SDRAM.
•
JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre-
quency and Vcore voltage 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. CPU external (FSB)
frequency settings may be set in 1MHz-increments or reduction.
•
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: UltraDMA/100 increases the data trans-
fer rate to 100MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with both DMA/
66 and DMA/33 with existing DMA devices and systems. (UltraDMA100/66
requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable to be enabled.)
•
Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and
one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
•
Smart BIOS: 2Mb firmware provides Vcore and CPU/SDRAM frequency ad-
justments, boot block write protection, and HD/SCSI/MO/ZIP/CD/Floppy boot
selection.
•
One Touch Management: Supports an optional ASUS iPanel, an easy to access
box with system information LED display, front I/O ports, and space reserved
for a hard disk drive. With an ASUS iPanel, you can monitor your computer
system’s vital components.
