FEATURES

V370A Features:

•V370A is based on the Mendocino Processor operating at 300 ~

433MHz on PGA370. The board is configured by an ESDJ to match
your CPU clock speed.

•Designed with VIA APOLLO PRO AGPset.

•Supports up to 768 Mega of DRAM (minimum of 16 MB) on board, You can

use 168-pin DIMM x 3. It will automatically detect Extended Data Output
(EDO) DRAM at 66MHz only or Synchronous DRAM memory (SDRAM) at
66MHz or 100MHz (please see Section 3-2).

•V370A will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) when using

paritys DRAM memory modules. This will detect multiple bit errors and
correct 1-bit memory errors.

•Supports (2) 16 bit ISA slots, (4) 32 bit PCI slots, (1) AGP slot and provides

(2) independent high performance PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting
PIO Mode 3/4 and Ultra DMA 33 devices. The V370A supports (2)

PCI Bus Master slots and a jumperless PCI INT# control scheme which

reduces configuration confusion when plugging in PCI card(s).

•Supports ATAPI (e.g. CD-ROM) devices on both Primary and Secondary IDE

interfaces.

•Designed with Winbond W83877TF Multi I/O: (1) floppy port, (1) parallel port

(EPP, ECP), and (2) serial ports (16550 Fast UART).
Note: Japanese “Floppy 3 mode” is also supported

•Includes a PS/2 mouse connector.

•Allows use of a PS/2 keyboard.

•Features Award Plug & Play BIOS. With Flash Memory you can always

upgrade to the current BIOS as they are released. (http://www.2themax.com
