Introduction

Introducing Your

“Digital Media Platform”

Thank you for purchasing MEGA651 PC, the Best of Computing & Home Entertainment. Based on the design idea of consumer product, the MEGA651 is not just a PC anymore. The equipped “All-in-One” features position MEGA651 as a “Digital Media Platform”.

From the recent years, the ownership and usage of desktop and notebook PCs across W.W households has turned computers into a commodity item. While Microsoft strongly promotes the “Media Center” platform concept “Windows XP Media Center Edition” on HP “Free Style”, Intel is also exploring their “DigitalHome” concept for the “Home-use” PC.

To meet the new concept of Home PC, the MEGA651 has been positioned as a digital media platform to perform TV-recording (optional), home theater (DVD+5.1 channels), digital audio playback (MP3, Audio CD), photo and video stream data browsing/authoring/burning (optional with Media Center and bundled applications). Meanwhile, it could also support high game performance (AGP 4X slot). The remote controller also allows you to use it like a Hi-Fi Stereo.

An innovative feature to implement all the Hi-Fi Stereo

into home-PC with a fancy equalizer LCM and control

panel in the front bezel.

SRS

MEGA651 is equipped with SRS audio enforcement technology. SRS (Sound Retrieval System) was the first generation of 3D sound, dramatically improving the quality of standard stereo. SRS is based on the human hearing system and was designed to retrieve the natural spatial cues and ambient information that is present in audio but masked by traditional recording and playback methods.

Whether the signal is mono or stereo, SRS expands the audio material to create a realistic threedimensional sound image. SRS has no sweet-spot and fills the room with a sound experience much closer to that of a live performance.

SRS is a trademark of SRS Labs, Inc. SRS technology is incorporated under license from SRS Labs, Inc.

1.5 Home Theater

Except the general PC function, the MEGA651 has the extra Home The-

ater function when PC button is pressed on.

When PC button is pressed on, you can use the equipped optical drive to play DVD. The equipped 5.1 channel audio effect gives you a wonderful feeling of home theater while playing DVD.

Plus, the OPTIONAL MS8606 TV-Tuner card allows you to watch TV. The top part of remote controller is designed specially for the TV-Tuner function.

To enforce the multimedia effect, the “Media Center”, which is developed by MSI, will be bundled in the next generation of MEGA651. You will find the simplified PC control of multimedia resources, such as watching TV, listening to music, viewing pictures and playing DVD..., etc.

2.2 CPU/memory

The MEGA651 supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors in the 478-pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You can install PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules into the DDR DIMM slots (CN28/26).

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3. 3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.
