2. FEATURES Features 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/ME/2000. • PC'99 Compliant: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series motherboards are PC'99 compliant. The new PC'99 requirements for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: Support for Plugn-Play compatibility and power management for configuring and managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation procedures for Windows 98/ME/2000. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC'99. • 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/100/66 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 1.067GB/s using PC133-compliant SDRAMs and up to 800MB/s using PC100-compliant SDRAMs. • Power Saving Feature: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) provides maximum power savings as an alternative to leaving the computer ON. STR allows QuickStart™ when you get back , so you don't have to go through the long boot process. (NOTE: This motherboard does not support the Suspend-to-RAM (STR) feature when you install a DIMM into the DIMM4 socket.) 10 ASUS CUV4X-E User's Manual

PC’99 Compliant:
Both the BIOS and hardware levels of ASUS smart series
motherboards are PC’99 compliant. The new PC’99 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 98/ME/2000. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make
identification easy as required by PC’99.
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface:
Support for UltraDMA/100 through the
