ASUS P3B-F User’s Manual
2.1.2 Special Features
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 implemented in the OS,
PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards.
To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, an ACPI-supported OS such as Windows
98 must be used.
Suspend and Go: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) provides maximum power savings
(average of 5 watts) as an alternative to leaving the computer ON and QuickStart
TM
so that you do not fall asleep waiting for system bootup (Suspend-to-RAM re-
quires OS support and does not support ISA cards; ISA cards may fail to work
coming out of STR mode).
Easy Installation: Incorporates BIOS that supports autodetection of hard disk
drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make the setup of hard disk
drives, expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic.
New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of this motherboard meet
the stringent requirements for PC’99 certification. The new PC’99 requirements
for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Sup-
port for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring
and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation
procedures for Windows95/98/NT . Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons
make identification easy as required by PC’99.
Symbios SCSI BIOS: Supports optional ASUS SCSI controller cards through
the onboard SYMBIOS firmware.
2.1.3 Performance Features
Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter busses to the memory and processor.
Double the IDE Transfer Speed: ASUS smart series motherboards with Intel
chipsets improve IDE transfer rate using Bus Master UltraDMA/33 IDE which
can handle data transfers up to 33MB/s.
SDRAM Optimized Performance: Supports the new generation memory - Syn-
chronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which increases the
data transfer rate to 800MB/s max using PC100-compliant SDRAM.
