Processor
The K7S5A2 mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin
Socket A that has the following features:
•
Supports 100/133 MHz frontside bus (FSB)
•
Accommodates AMD Athlon/Duron processors
Chipset
The SiS735 Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets
are based on an innovative and scalable architec-
ture with proven reliability and performance. A few
of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
A low 2.5-volt DDR266 SDRAM power con-
sumption which makes it an excellent solution
for notebooks and desktops with a small foot-
print
•
Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivi d
3D graphics and video performance
•
An ATA 100 interface on the chipset, which
helps boost system performance by providing
a high-speed connection to ATA 100 Hard
Disk Drives, delivering maximum sustained
data transfer rates of 100 MB/sec
•
Built-in multithreaded I/O link used to enhance
performance, providing enough I/O bandwidth
for throughput up to 1.2 GB/s
Additional key features include support for six
USB ports, an AC 97 link for audio and modem,
hardware monitoring, and ACPI/OnNow power
management.
Memory
The mainboard supports both DDR SDRAM and
SDR SDRAM. It accommodates two unbuffered
2.5V 184 pin slots and two unbuffered 3.3V 168
pin slots. Each slot can support up to 512 MB with
a total maximum capacity of 1.0 GB.
VGA
The K7S5A2 includes a 4xAGP slot that provides
four times the bandwidth of the original AGP
specification. AGP technology provides a direct
connection between the graphics sub-system and
the processor so that the graphics do not have to
compete for processor time with other devices on
the PCI bus.
