2.1
The ASUS MES Motherboard
The ASUS MES motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who
wants many intelligent features in a small package.
2.1.1 Specifications
Intel Processor Support:
Supports Intel’s Celeron processor designed for the
Socket 370 and packaged in
P
lastic
P
in
G
rid
A
rray (PPGA).
SiS AGPset:
SiS’ 620 AGPset with a built-in 6326 AGP 2X graphics controller
supports a 100MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and UltraDMA/66, which allows burst
mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MBps.
Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus BIOS:
Programmable BIOS (Flash
EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firm-
ware-based virus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually au-
tomatic setup.
Versatile Memory:
Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100-
compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 768MB.
Integrated Graphics:
Integrated AGP 2X graphics controller can use shared
system memory or optional dedicated onboard VGA memory (up to 8MB
SDRAM).
PCI & ISA Expansion:
Provides five 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA expansion
slots.
Wake-On-LAN Connector:
Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an op-
tional ethernet card (see
7.1
ASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet Card
).
Super Multi-I/O:
Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and
one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
Desktop Management Interface (DMI):
Supports DMI through BIOS, which
allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher
level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)
IrDA:
Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
