II. FEATURES Features II. FEATURES Features of the ASUS P2B-VM Motherboard The ASUS P2B-VM is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants advanced features processed by the fastest CPU. Specifications: • Multi-Speed: Supports Intel Pentium® II (233MHz to 450MHz) and CeleronTM (266MHz and faster) processors. • Intel AGPset: Features Intel's 440BX AGPset with I/O subsystems and front-side bus (FSB) platform, which boosts the traditional 66-MHz internal bus speed to 100MHz. • Multi-Cache: Supports processors with either 0, 128, or 512KB Pipelined Burst Level 2 cache. • PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel PC100-compliant SDRAMs (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 768MB. These new SDRAMs are necessary to meet the critical enhanced 100MHz bus speed requirement. • Peripheral Wake Up: Supports modem wake up, keyboard wake up, and LAN card wake up functions from sleep or soft-off mode. • AGP 3D VGA: Features optional onboard ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2X (8MB SDRAM) or Rage IIC AGP (4MB SDRAM) for 3D hardware acceleration. • AGP Slot (optional): Supports AGP graphics cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications. This slot is available as an option with the Rage IIC only. • PCI Audio (optional): Features optional ESS 32-bit PCI audio onboard. • SB-Link™: Features Creative's SB-Link™, allowing SB16 compatibility, using Intel's PC-PCI DMA and serialized IRQ protocols, to AWE64D or compatible PCI audio cards. • PCI & ISA Expansion Slots: Provides three 32-bit PCI slots and one 16-bit ISA slot. The ISA slot is shared with a PCI slot. • Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities. UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to the Infrared Module for wireless connections. • Ultra DMA/33 Bus Master IDE: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices in two channels, supports UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and supports Enhanced IDE devices, such as Tape Backup and CD-ROM, and LS-120 drives. • Universal Retention Mechanism: Supports a Pentium® II processor packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (SECC/SECC2) or a CeleronTM processor packaged in a Single Edge Processor Package (SEPP). • Wake-On-LAN Header: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity with special network cards, such as the ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card. 8 ASUS P2B-VM User's Manual
