Overview
This new mainboard is an ATX sized board supporting the latest generation of
AMD
processors at industry leading speeds. By utilizing DDR ( Double Data
®
Rate) transfer rate of the system bus effectively reaches Front Side Bus speeds
in 200/266/333MHz (KT-600 Pro reaches 400MHz.)As to system memory, it is
up to DDR333 (KT-600 Pro to DDR400) MHz and has 3 PC2100/PC2700/PC3200*
DIMMs for up to 3 GB. The board provides users with an ATA133 data trans-
action for peripheral IDE drives .
(*: If you use PC3200 DDR DIMM, only DIMM1/2 socket is allowed.)
The board is based upon the high performance VIA KT400A (KT-400A Pro
and KT-400A) / KT600A (KT-600 Pro) as North Bridge and the VIA
VT8235CE (KT-400A Pro) / VT8235CD (KT-400A ) / VT8237 (KT-600
Pro) as South Bridge. Its AGP functions supported AGP 3.0 interface and the
most robust 3D games with software environments. The AGP slot onboard
accepts 4X/8X AGP card.
The board comes with a versatile range of I/O features such as 2 serial ports, 1
parallel port, 1 LAN, 2 optional IEEE 1394, 1 PS/2 mouse and keyboard connec-
tor, 6 USB ports (KT-600 Pro has 8 USB ports and two SATA connectors), 1
media connector (front audio, Line-in, Line-out and Mic-in). In addition, the
board is equipped with 2 dual channel enhanced PCI bus master IDE connectors.
Ample expansion is available through 5 PCI and 1AGP to meet the requirement
for enjoying the CPU benefits in internet applicatons, video/3D graphics per-
formance, and so forth.
Other key features are Remote On/Off, Auto Power Failure Recovery, inte-
grated temperature monitoring and system fan control. Included also is lst
Utilities CD with enhanced drivers and a few bundled soft-ware solutions.
