data transfer rate to 33 megabytes (MB) per second. UltraDMA "widens" the path to the hard drive by
transferring twice as much data per clock cycle. The net effect is that the maximum burst data transfer rate from
the disk drive increases from 16.6 Megabytes per second (MB/s) to 33 MB/s.

the same time - all on your existing, single phone line. No rewiring! In fact, you’ll always be connected to the Net
which means no dialing in and no busy signals from your ISP - just turn on your PC and you’re online. And best of
all, while G.Lite/56K V.90 protects your computer investment from future hardware obsolescence, it also
features a dual functionality by giving you the fastest conventional 56K V.90 technology until you switch over.
