1.1.4 Performance Features

• Concurrent PCI: Concurrent PCI allows multiple PCI transfers from PCI mas-
ter busses to the memory and processor.
• High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: IDE transfers using UltraDMA/33 Bus
Master IDE can handle rates up to 33MB/s. This motherboard with its chipset
and support for UltraDMA/100 increases the data transfer rate to 100MB/s.
UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and DMA and
with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to upgrade current
EIDE/IDE drives and host systems. (UltraDMA100/66 requires a 40-pin 80-
conductor cable to be enabled.)
• DDR SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports a new gen-
eration memory, Double Data Rate (DDR) Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM), which is compatible to the industry standard SDRAM. This new memory
technology increases performance by executing two actions per clock cycle,
resulting in data transfer rates of up to 2.1 GB/s for 133MHz DDR SDRAM and
1.6GB/s for 100MHz DDR SDRAM.
