For information regarding the system, please refer to the system documents (Manual). This board is designed to
support Intel Celeron PPGA processors and to provide the high performance targeted 3D graphical display –AGP
based solution. Also, PCI based audio function with AC-link 97 interface provides a complete high quality audio
solution. To expand system integration on the user side, the PCMCIA function supports two independent card
sockets - 16-bit PC card specification and 32-bit PC card (CardBus) specification. The NTSC decoding function is
provided to connect the game machine/VCR into one composite input port. Also, this board support Audio CD
controls in system power off state (Soft-off State). There is a unique connector, which is supporting PCI modem
device and Ethernet LAN with HomePNA device. This sub-board is designed to support ACPI specification fully.
motherboard is designed only for TriGem’ s all-in-one PC to support a special monitor made by KDS.

motherboard provides the 370pin PGA370 socket that is not backward compatible with ZIF socket-7
The Processor’ s VID pin automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard to
the required processor voltage. The motherboard supports processors that run internally at
300A/333/366/400/433MHz.
The motherboard has 64MB SDRAM on board and only one dual inline memory module (DIMM). So, minimum
64MB to maximum 192MB-memory size. The BIOS can automatically detect the memory type, size, and speed
through SMBUS interface between the core chipset and DIMM module.
The motherboard supports the following memory features
Default 64MB SDRAM on Board
•
3.3V and unbuffered 144-pin SO-DIMM
•
Only 66MHz unbuffered SDRAM
•
Non-ECC memory support
•
Single or double-sided DIMM with the following types
•
Total sizeOn Board memoryDIMM memory sizeRemarks
32 MB
The motherboard uses a TriGem-Phoenix BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a
disk-based program. A new version of the BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the Flash Memory
Update utility.
On-board device management
The BIOS can manage the devices on the motherboard over the CMOS setup menu.
