NorthBridge Controller. The VIA KT333 NorthBridge controller supports
1
333 MHz front side bus.
CPU Sockets. Socket 462 (Socket A) Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for
2
the AMD Athlon XP 2400+/Athlon/Duron Processors, with frequency of
2400+ or higher.(Note: When using 333MHz FSB CPU, system memory
supports DDR333 only.)
DDR DIMM Sockets. These three 184-pin DIMM sockets support up to
3
3GB using non-ECC PC2100/1600 DDR DIMMs
(Note: PC2700 max. to 4 banks only.)
ATX power connector. This standard 20-pin connector connects to an
4
ATX 12V power supply. The power supply must have at least 1A on the
+5V standby lead (+5VSB).
Floppy Disk connector. This connector connects the provided ribbon
5
cable for the floppy disk drive. One side of the connector is slotted to
prevent incorrect insertion of the floppy disk cable.
IDE Connectors. These dual-channel bus master IDE connectors support
6
up to four Ultra DMA133/100/66, PIO Modes 3 & 4 IDE devices. Both the
primary(blue) and secondary(black) connectors are slotted to prevent
incorrect insertion of the IDE ribbon cable.
South bridge controller. The VIA VT8235 integrated peripheral controller
7
supports various I/O functions including, dual-channel ATA133/100/66 bus
master IDE controller, up to six USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse
port, LPC Super I/O interface, AC'97 interface,10/100Mb LAN and PCI 2.2
interface..
ASUS ASIC. This chip performs multiple system functions that include
8
hardware and system voltage monitoring among others.
Flash ROM. This 2Mb firmware contains the programmable BIOS
9
program.
Onboard LED. This onboard LED lights up if there is a standby power on
10
the motherboard. This LED acts as a reminder to turn off the system power
before plugging or unplugging devices.
Super I/O chipset. This interface provides the commonly used Super I/O
11
functionality. The chipset supports a high-performance floppy disk
controller for a 360K/720K/1.44M/2.88M floppy disk drive, a multi-mode
parallel port, a game port and a serial port.
PCI slots. These 32-bit PCI 2.2 expansion slots support bus master PCI
12
cards like SCSI or LAN cards with 133MB/s maximum output.
