Processor The mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin Socket A that supports
400 MHz frontside bus (FSB).
Chipset The SiS748 and SiS963L chipsets are based on an innovative
and scalable architecture with proven reliability and perform-
ance. A few of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
Supports AMD AthlonXP CPU up to 400 MHz FSB
•
Supports Synchronous/Quasi-synchronous Host to
DRAM Timing
•
Supports 266/333/400 DDR SDRAM
•
Sustains DDR SDRAM CAS Latency at options of 2, 2.5,
& 3 clocks.
•
AGP v3.0 Compliant
•
Supports AGP 8X/4X Interface
•
Bi-directional 16 bit data bus
•
1 GB/s performance in 133MHz x 4 mode
•
PCI 2.2 Specification Compliance
•
Integrated Multithreaded I/O Link Mastering with Read
Pipelined Streaming
•
Supports Enhanced Software and Automatic schemes to
access PHY registers
•
Supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133
•

v1.0 compatible
Additional key features include support for six USB ports, Fast
Ethernet MAC controller, AC97 interface, advanced power
management, integrated DMA controller and keyboard control-
ler.
•
Supports DDR up to 266/333/400 MHz SDRAM memory
Memory
module
•
Accommodates three unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin slots
•
Each slot supports up to 1 GB with a total maximum ca-
pacity of 3 GB
Graphics The 748-A includes an AGP slot that provides eight times the
bandwidth of the original AGP specification. The AGP 3.0 (8x
AGP) offers a significant increase in performance along with
feature enhancements to AGP2.0. This interface represents
the natural evolution from the existing AGP to meet the ever-
increasing demands placed on the graphic interfaces within
the workstation and desktop environments.
Audio The AC' 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci-
fication that meets the PC2001 requirements and supports
S/PDIF Out. It also has a built-in buffer and internal PLL. Fea-
tures include support for analog switch for rear-out (share), the
line-in jack (share), center/bass (share), and MIC jack to output
6 channels audio.
