Introduction
This mainboard is a SiS530 100MHz highly integrated
high-performance mainboard based on the advanced
Socket 7 microprocessor and provides CPU Plug and Play
feature for faster and easier CPU installation. The
mainboard features highly flexible configurations and is
fully IBM PC/AT compatible.
The mainboard uses a Super 7 chipset with 3D video
inside which is built with a high performance 64-bit 3D
AGP Graphics Accelerator with 8MB frame buffer. It
supports the PCI/ISA and Green standards, provides the
Host/AGP bridge, and integrates all system control
functions such as ACPI(Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface). The ACPI provides more energy saving
features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function.
The mainboard has an onboard PCI Sound to
meet PC98' specifications for 3D Multimedia systems,
and built-in Hardware Monitor circuit to monitor
CPU fan speeds/voltages/temperature with SiS
System Hardware Monitor. And the mainboard BIOS
provides Trend's ChipAway Virus to ensure the entire
boot process virus free.
