1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PREFACE
Welcome to use the 6BXE motherboard. It is a Pentium II / III / Celeron
Processor based PC / AT compatible system with AGP / PCI / ISA Bus, and
has been designed to be the fastest PC / AT system. There are some new
features allow you to operate the system with just the performance you want.
This manual also explains how to install the motherboard for operation, and
how to set up your CMOS CONFIGURATION with BIOS SETUP program.
