Memory
The MK73LE supports both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM, which allows zero wait state bursting
between the DRAM and the data buffers at 100/133MHz. The two banks of DIMM slots can be
composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M/2M/4M/8M/16M/32MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller
can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (66/100/133MHz) or pseudo-synchronous to the
CPU bus frequency.
Onboard Trident Blade3D Graphics Engine
This motherboard integrates the rich AGP graphics capabilities of the Trident Blade3D graphics
engine, which provides full AGP 2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1X/2X/4X
mode transfers, SBA (Side Band Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants.
The AGP 4X specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The
AGP 4X video cards support data transfer rates up to 533MB/s.
Ultra ATA 33/66/100 Enhanced IDE
Ultra ATA/100 is the latest version of the ATA hard drive data transfer protocol. This motherboard
comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four
IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra ATA 33/66/100, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master
IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices.

On-board AC97 Sound
This motherboard uses AC97 sound chip which includes the complete capability of audio
recording and playback system.
Power Management/Plug and Play
Supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play,
which helps save users from configuration problems, thus making system user-friendly.
Hardware Monitoring Management
Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature, voltage monitoring and alert through the
on-board hardware monitor module and
AOpen Hardware Monitoring Utility
.
Enhanced ACPI
Fully implements the ACPI standard for Windows® 95/98/ME/NT/2000 series compatibility, and
supports Soft-Off, STR (Suspend to RAM, S3), STD (Suspend to Disk, S4), WOM (Wake On
Modem), and WOL (Wake On LAN) features.

Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk
drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the
following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until
you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the
system unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not
available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting.
To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short both pin 2 and pin 3 for a
few seconds.
. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1
and pin2.
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of overclocking…
2. Forget password…
