Thank you for choosing the L7VMM2 motherboard. The L7VMM2 is designed
to fit the advanced AMD Athlon processors in the 462-pin package. Based on
the micro-ATX form factor featuring the VIA KM266: VT8375 Northbridge and
VT8235 Southbridge chipsets. This motherboard provides the standard
100/133MHz front side bus with extra capability.
Taking advantage of the highly integrated chipsets, the VT8375 Northbridge
provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, V-Link bus and in-
ternal AGP 4x graphics controller. It also incorporates the S3 Graphics' 128-bit
ProSavage8™ graphics accelerator to bring mainstream graphics perform-
ance to the Value PC with leading-edge 2D, 3D and DVD video acceleration.
The VT8235 Southbridge supports standard intelligent peripheral controllers
such as USB v2.0/1.1 and Universal HCI v2.0/1.1 compliant, real time clock
with 256 byte extended CMOS, integrated bus-mastering dual full-duplex di-
rect-sound AC97 link compatible sound system and full System Management
Bus (SMBus) interface.
The L7VMM2 is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual
channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, a high-speed serial port, a VGA
port, an EPP/ECP capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB
(Universal Serial Bus) connector, a PS/2 keyboard, mouse and 1394a
connectors. One AGP slot, three PCI local bus slots and one communication
and networking riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral
cards.
