200/133MHz or 200/100MHz Synchronous Host/DRAM Clock Support:
CPU frequency can operate at 200MHz while system memory operates at
133MHz or 100MHz.

133MHz or 100MHz.

High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: This motherboard with its chipset and
support for UltraDMA/66 doubles the UltraDMA/33 burst transfer rate to
66.6MB/s. UltraDMA/66 is backward compatible with both DMA/33 and DMA
and with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to upgrade
current EIDE/IDE drives and host systems. (UltraDMA/66 requires a 40-pin
80-conductor cable to be enabled and/or for UltraDMA Mode 4.)

Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter buses to memory to CPU.

VCM/SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new gen-
eration memory, NEC’s 64Mb Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which is compatible to the indus-
try standard SDRAM. The VCM’s core design provides up to 50% higher
SDRAM speed at reduced power consumption of about 30%. This motherboard
also supports standard SDRAM, which increases the data transfer rate (1.064GB/s
max using PC133-compliant SDRAMs and 800MB/s max using PC100-compli-
ant SDRAMs).

ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) provides
more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS
Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features imple-
mented 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.

New Compliancy: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meets
PC 99 compliancy. The new PC 99 requirements for systems and components are
based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plug and 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.
