®
®
processor with MMX
technology, Cyrix
/IBM
6x86/6x86L/6x86MX/MII,
®
TM
AMD
K5/K6/K6-2, and IDT
Winchip processors. The mainboard also
supports four 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus
standard slots.
®
The mainboard uses the highly integrated VIA
598AT chipset to support
the AGP/PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge.
®
The VIA
586B chipset 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 VIA
586B chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfer data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard uses the programmable synchronous DC/DC controller for
advanced processors. Synchronous operation allows the elimination of heat
sinks in many applications. The mainboard also provides 22 output voltage
from 1.80V to 3.50V in 100mV increments.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller as an
optional function. This function includes: CPU fan control, CPU tempera-
ture detect and protect & system voltage detect.
