1.1 Product Overview

Thanks for your purchasing the P4VMA motherboard. The new ATX, 478-pin mPGA Motherboard P4VMA supports a full range of the latest generation Intel Pentium 4 processors.The leading edge chipset S3 VIA P4M266 & VT8233 was designed for working with Pentium 4 (1.4GHz-2.0+GHz) and Northwood processor (min. 2.0GHz) in the 478-pin package based on the VRM 9.0 Spec. And up at 400 MHz system Data Bus. Built using the leading edge technology the Intel Pentium 4 processors provide a significant performance over previous Pentium III processors. Four PC1600/2100 (DDR200/266) sockets allow for up to 2.0GB memory capacity. We have conducted a motherboard compatibility test with a variety of hardware and software, such as CPUs, memory, display cards,

CD ROMs, Novell, MS Office.... etc.

We have set high standards on our quality control, with absolute confidence; we believe this product is the wisest choice.

This manual is composed of four sections. The first section is the introduction of this motherboard, and the second section explains the proper procedure to setup the motherboard, the third section provides information on how to setup the CMOS.

After completing the steps above and you want to power-off the computer, you do not need to go through the process of closing files, applications and operation system. You can power off the computer at once by pressing the power button or selecting "Standby" when you shut down Windows 98. To power-on the computer, just press the power button. The operating session where you left off when you power-off the computer will resume in not more than 8 seconds. However, the power button will not function if a keyboard password has been set in the "KB Power ON Password" field of the Integrated Peripherals submenu. You must type the password to power-on the computer. If you have changed the color or resolution (in the Display Properties dialog box), do not apply the settings without restarting. You must restart the computer.
