Introduction
This mainboard has a Socket-462 processor socket for the AMD
K7 type of processors. You can install any of these processors on
this mainboard. This mainboard supports front-side bus speed of
200/266MHz.
This mainboard uses SiS 740 chipset that supports a DDR interface,
Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function and remarkably high system
performance under all types of system operations. This mainboard
has a built-in AC97 Codec, providing an AMR (Audio Modem
Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem application, and a built-in
10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. This mainboard has the
embedded 256-bit 3D AGP Graphics Accelerator with 64MB
frame buffer, supporting AGP 4X 266MHz mode up to 2GB/s
bandwidth, which provides a direct connection between the
graphics sub-system and memory so that the graphics do not have
to compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus. In
addition, this mainboard has an extended set of ATX I/O Ports
including PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two USB ports, a
parallel port, one serial port and one VGA port. Connecting the
Extended USB Module to this mainboard can add two extra USB
ports.
This mainboard has all features you need to develop a powerful
multimedia workstation. The board is Micro ATX size and has
power connectors for an ATX power supply.
