II. FEATURES ASUS SP98AGP-X II. FEATURES Features of the ASUS SP98AGP-X Motherboard The ASUS SP98AGP-X is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants many features in a small package. This motherboard: • AGP Chipset: SiS5591 chipset with built-in AGP support for high performance, component level interconnection targeted at 3D graphical display applications. • Versatile Processor Support: Intel Pentium® 75-233MHz (P55C-MMX™, P54C/ P54CS), IBM®/Cyrix® 6x86-PR166+ (Rev 2.7 or later), IBM®/Cyrix® 6x86MX™ (PR166 & faster), AMD-K5™ (PR75-PR133), AMD-K6™ (PR166 & faster). • Versatile Memory Support: Three DIMM sockets to support (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) 168-pin SDRAM/Extended Data Out (EDO) memory modules up to 768MB. • Easy Installation: BIOS supports autodetection of hard drives, PS/2 mouse, and Plug and Play devices to make setup of hard drives, expansion cards, and other devices virtually automatic. • ISA & PCI Expansion Slots: Three 16-bit ISA and three 32-bit PCI slots. • Super Multi-I/O: 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.) (See section V) • PCI Bus Master IDE Controller: Onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and supports Enhanced IDE devices such as Tape Backup and CD-ROM drives. Supports two drives of either 5.25-inch (360KB or 1.2MB) or 3.5-inch (720KB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB) disk drives. Supports Japanese "Floppy 3 mode" (3.5-inch disk drive: 1.2MB) and LS-120 floppy disk drives (3.5-inch disk drive: 120 MB, 1.44MB, 720K). BIOS supports IDE CD-ROM or SCSI device boot-up. • Level 2 Cache: 512KB (1MB option) Pipelined Burst SRAM onboard. • Optional IrDA Module: Supports optional IrDA receiver/transmitter device. • Symbios SCSI BIOS: Onboard firmware to support optional ASUS SCSI controller cards. • Optional Integrated Audio: Optional onboard audio with 3D sound. • Compliancy: ACPI ready for advanced power management features and PC97 compliant for greater support. 8 ASUS SP98AGP-X User's Manual
