Introduction
1-2 Mainboard Features
Socket 754
English
Socket 754-based motherboards are designed to provide performance enhancements for AMD
Sempron/Athlon 64 processor-based systems, and it also expected to be the next-generation
of platform innovations.
For more information about all the new features Athlon
website at
http://www.amd.com
Chipset
The board is designed with ULi M1697 chipset, featuring performance and stability with the
most innovative technology and features.
For more details about the ULi chipset, please visit the ULi Web site at
GLI mode (Graphics Link Interface)
GLI mode allows two PCI-Express VGA cards to be installed on the same mainboard to enjoy
dual display experience. With this technology you can expand your desktop space across two
monitors and have independent display on each monitor.
PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With
smaller slot size and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express
overcomes PCI bus bottleneck.
Brief Introduction
TM
Processor deliver, check out the AMD
http://www.ULi.com.tw.
Jumper Configurable PCI-Express
This mainboard is cleverly designed with a jumper configurable PCI-Express slot that lets user
select the single or dual VGA support.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and
status. This includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
10/100 LAN
This mainboard is mounted with a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller. It allows the mainboard
to connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.
Serial ATA II
S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to
300MB/sec. It supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices.
SATA RAID
RAID function available on chipset’s SATA II ports, RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, JBOD by ULi driver support.
USB2.0
A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while
maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
6ch
Mainboard is equipped with 6 channel of audio to support Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for DVD-playback.
The onboard audio jacks can be configured for normal 2 channel mode or 6 channel mode.
AMD Cool'n'QuietTM Technology
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet
TM
Technology lowers CPU operating voltage when the system is in idle mode.
This helps to reduce heat dissipation and in effect lowers the fan speed to noise from your PC.
