2. FEATURES Performance 2. FEATURES 2.1.2 Performance • UltraPerformance: Onboard Ultra160/320 (depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller with two connectors that support 30 Ultra160/320 SCSI devices in two channels. • Dual Speeds: CPU frequency can operate at either 133MHz or 100MHz depending on the CPU installed. • High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: SCSI transfers using Ultra160/320 (depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller can handle rates up to 160MB/s or 320MB/s. Ultra160/320 is backward compatible with slower SCSI devices so that older SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160/320 SCSI cables have twisted pairs compared to flat ribbon cables used in older SCSI standards.) • Advanced 64-bit PCI: Maximizes IO bandwidth for the next generation of 64bit PCI cards, supports up to (2) full 64-bit 66/33MHz PCI busses, and supports up to (4) 32-bit 33MHz PCI busses. • Full Peer-to-Peer Support: Allows full peer-to-peer transactions between PCI busses and increases options for intelligent IO and Server Management cards. • SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133 "registered" Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) that increases the data transfer rate up to 1064MB/s. • ACPI Ready: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is also implemented on all ASUS smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented 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 meet the stringent requirements for SDG2.0 certification. The new SDG2.0 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 NT/2000/XP. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons make identification easy as required by PC '99. 10 ASUS TR-DLS User's Manual

2.1.2 Performance
•
UltraPerformance:
Onboard Ultra160/320 (depending on model) dual channel
SCSI controller with two connectors that support 30 Ultra160/320 SCSI devices
in two channels.
•
Dual Speeds:
CPU frequency can operate at either 133MHz or 100MHz
depending on the CPU installed.
•
High-Speed Data Transfer Interface:
SCSI transfers using Ultra160/320
(depending on model) dual channel SCSI controller can handle rates up to
160MB/s or 320MB/s. Ultra160/320 is backward compatible with slower SCSI
devices so that older SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160/320 SCSI cables
