Introduction of PT880DAS Motherboard
Thank you for purchasing the PT880DAS which provide extremely performance and
meet future specification demand.
PT880DAS series motherboards are adopted with advanced technologies to deliver the extremely
performance for Intel Pentium 4 Northwood/ Hyper-Threading/ Prescott socket 478 processors.
The motherboard also feature AGP 8X, Serial ATA RAID0, 1, USB 2.0 as well as 6-channel
audio which are based on the advanced VIA PT880 chipset with FSB 800MHz and Dual channel
DDR400 Memory clock support. Now we could know more details by reading the features of
motherboards below.

1-1 Feature of motherboard

PT880DAS motherboard is designed for Intel Pentium 4 Socket-478 400MHz/ 533MHz/
800MHz Front Side Bus Frequency CPUs and the memory size expandable to 4.0GB.
By using VIA PT880 chipset which provides 800/533/400MHz Front Side Bus frequency and
Dual channel DDR266/333/400 SDRAM support as a obvious further step to the next generation
of 400/533/800MHz processors. This motherboard also offered ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial
ATA RAID 0, 1 functions to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system
performance.
Integrated AC'97 CODEC audio on system supports 6-channel speaker for 3D Surround Effect
which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and
compatibility. AGP 8X slot enables more complex models and detailed textures with AGP 8X
graphic accelerators which creates richer and more lifelike virtual environments. The PT880DAS
used VIA VT6103 LAN PHY supports 10/100Mbps data transfer rate full duplex, half duplex
operation. USB control as well as capability of expanding to 8 USB function ports support
USB2.0/1.1 Devices.
Built-in hardware monitor function will monitor and protect your computer which is the special
design in hardware for protecting Pentium 4 CPU from burned, and will shutdown power supply
automatically when CPU is overheated or the CPU cooling fan is not working.
Minor adjustable DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP 1.5V Voltage, and other special functions
allows user to increase CPU Host clock step by step by setting up BIOS to approach over
clocking and increasing stability of the system.
Magic Duct Thermal Solution support, for decrease the temperature, and increasing the
component lifetime to gain the reliability of Motherboard.
