FEATURES 2.1 The ASUS P3C-E The ASUS P3C-E motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors. 2.1.1 Specifications Latest Intel Processor Support Intel Pentium ® III 100MHz FSB, Katmai core SECC2 Intel Pentium ® III B 133MHz FSB, Katmai core SECC2 Specifications 2. FEATURES Intel Pentium ® III E 100MHz FSB, Coppermine core SECC2 Intel Pentium ® III EB 133MHz FSB, Coppermine core SECC2 Intel Pentium ® II 100MHzMHz FSB SECC Intel Celeron™ 100MHz FSB SEPP Intel 820 Chipset:
Features the Intel ® 820 chipset (Memory Controller Hub and I/O Controller Hub) with support for AGP 4X mode, which can transport twice the amount of data to the current AGP standard; 100/133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MBps; and Intel Random Number Generator, which will improve cryptog- raphy, digital signing, and other security protocols. PC800 Memory Support: Equipped with two Rambus Inline Memory Module (RIMM) sockets to support Intel PC800/PC700/PC600-compliant Rambus DRAMs (RDRAMs) (available in 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512MB densities) up to 1GB.
These RDRAMs are necessary to meet the increase in processor perfor- mance and multimedia and 3D functions, especially where high bandwidth is required. These sockets also accept Intel PC100-compliant SDRAMs (16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512MB) up to 1GB by using an ASUS DR2 DIMM Riser (avail- able separately as an option). AGP Pro Slot: Supports the new Accelerated Graphics Port Pro card for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical applica- tions using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus. UltraDMA/66 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels.
Supports UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives. Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring activity. JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre- quency and Vcore voltage all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode is enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow manual adjustment of the processor’s external frequency. 8 ASUS P3C-E User’s Manual
