•
• North Bridge System Chipset: The Intel® 82815EG Graphics and AGP Memory
Controller Hub (GMCH) chipset features a fully backward compatible and unified
graphics driver, which utilizes system memory efficiently for graphics, O/S, and
complex applications. It supports 66/100/133 Front Side Bus (FSB), up to 512MB
of PC100/PC133 SDRAM, and integrated AGP 4x graphics.
South Bridge System Chipset: The Intel® 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2)
delivers twice the I/O bandwidth, and supports UltraDMA/100, allowing burst
mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/sec. Two USB controllers provide up
to four USB ports.
Intel® Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub
link between the ICH2 and GMCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec – twice the
maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.
•
• PC100/PC133 Memory Support: Equipped with three Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets which support PC133/PC100 non-ECC SDRAMs
(available in 64, 128, 256, 512Mb densities) up to 512MB.
• UltraDMA33/66/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels.
Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and
up to four ATAPI devices like DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and
tape backup drives.
• ASUS JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking
of frequency 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 external frequency.
• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring, Keyboard
Wake-Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.
• Around-the-Clock Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log
chassis 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!
• PC Health Monitoring: Provides an easy way to examine and manage system
status information, such as CPU and system voltages, temperatures, and fan
status through the onboard hardware ASUS ASIC and the bundled ASUS PC
Probe or Intel LDCM software.
