2. FEATURES  
2.1.2 Performance  
ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) provides more  
Energy Saving Features for operating systems that support OS Direct Power  
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features employed in the OS,  
PCs can be ready around the clock but comply with energy saving standards. To  
fully utilize the ACPI benefits, use an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows 98.  
PC99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series  
motherboards are PC99 compliant. The new PC99 requirements for systems  
and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug-  
n-Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all  
system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for  
Windows 95/98/NT. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make  
identification easy as required by PC99.  
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: Support for UltraDMA/100 through the  
onboard IDE bus master controller. doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer  
rate to 66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/  
33, and other existing DMA devices to save the need to upgrade current EIDE/  
IDE drives. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin 80-conductor cable).  
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI master  
busses to the memory and processor.  
VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports the new  
generation memory, NEC 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous  
Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), that is compatible to the industry  
standard SDRAM. The VCM core design provides up to 50% higher SDRAM  
speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard also  
supports the standard SDRAM for a the data transfer rate of up to 1.064GB/s using  
PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant  
SDRAMs.

2. FEATURES  
2.1.3 Intelligence  
Auto Fan Off: The system fans powers off automatically even in sleep mode.  
This function reduces both energy consumption and system noise, and is an  
important feature in implementing silent PC systems.  
Dual Function Power Button: Pushing the power button for less than 4 seconds  
when the system is in the working state places the system into one of two states:  
sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS or OS setting (see PWR  
Button < 4 Secs in 4.5 Power Menu). When the power button is pressed for  
more than 4 seconds, the system enters the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS  
setting.  
Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system  
damage, the CPU and system fans can be monitored for RPM and failure. All  
fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.  
Power LED (requiresACPI OS support): The power LED indicates the system  
status.  
Remote Ring-On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on  
remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users  
can access vital information from their computers anywhere.  
System Resources Alert: Todays operating systems such as Windows 95/98/  
NT and OS/2, require much more memory and hard drive space to present  
enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The system resource monitor  
warns the user before the system resources are used up to prevent possible  
application crashes. Suggestions provide the user some information on managing  
their limited resources more efficiently.  
Temperature Monitoring and Alert: CPU temperature is monitored by the  
ASUS ASIC through the CPUs internal thermal diode (on Pentium III and  
Celeron) to prevent system overheat and system damage.  
Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure  
stable voltage to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are  
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper  
system configuration and management.  
Chassis Intrusion Detection: Supports chassis-intrusion monitoring through  
the ASUS ASIC. A chassis intrusion event is kept in memory on battery power  
for more protection.
