Frequently Asked Questions
Q 1: Which type of processors can be used with MK7A motherboard?
A 1: The processors that MK7A motherboards support are Athlon and Duron series which are manufactured by AMD and are Socket 462. This particular model can work with processors between the MHz range of 600 and 1ghz+. A ‘Socket’ is a hardware interface that allows a circuit to be connected with the appendage of a chip or microprocessor.
Q 2: What is the maximum DDR SDRAM memory that can be incorporated into MK7A?
A 2: This specific model can have up to a maximum of 2GB of DDR SDRAM memory mounted. This can be achieved by the use of four DIMM slots. A ‘DIMM slot’ is a memory module of sorts that incorporates dynamic random access memory into a PC for a more performance driven outcome.
Q 3: What are the additional features/systems/integrations the MK7A has?
A 3: This computer part has room for expansion in the form of three PCI slots(32-bit) and one AGP 4X slot citing performance of sorts for graphics, need emulation or additional graphics capabilities, this motherboard has the means to amplify what is required to get the task done.
Q 4: Can the MK7A function along side built in audio systems?
A 4: Absolutely, the specification details clearly state that MK7A encompasses an AD 1885 AC97 CODEC chipset. A CODEC is a device that facilitates the conversion between signals and bits or simulcast and demodulate.
Q 5: What type of PC does MK7A belong to?
A 5: This computer encompasses an architecture that enables it to support PC1600 and PC2100 DDR SDRAM without any restraints.
Q 6: MK7A, does it work with USB devises?
A 6: Yes, it does have four enabled USB connectors which are compliant according to ‘UHCI 1.1’ specifications.
Q 7: What are the power management features optimized into the MK7A?
A 7: Multiple options aimed towards energy conservation are enabled under this computer part as it is compatible with the Energy Star program that was launched by the US government.
Q8: Is it possible for me to keep an eye on the system’s temperatures as well as the fan speeds?
A8: Yes, the MK7A-Systems has an integrated hardware monitoring mechanism which is responsible for tracking the CPU as well as system fan activity, temperature and also the voltage of the system.
