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.
•
PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with four Dual Inline Memory Module
(DIMM) sockets to support Intel PC100-compliant SDRAMs (available in 64,
128, 256, or 512MB densities) up to 1GB.
•
AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that supports
AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D
graphical applications 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, Keyboard
Wake-Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.
•
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.
•
Around-the-Clock Intrusion Detection: Chassis intrusion circuitry can log chas-
sis panel open events into LDCM. The onboard battery supports detection even
when normal power is removed and through a new design, battery drain is even
lower than the RTC used for keeping time!
•
Firmware Hub: Provides security and other latest power computing features.
