Introduction
This mainboard has a Socket-A support for the AMD K7
processors. The Socket-A processor's front-side bus speed is
266MHz.
This mainboard has a KM266 chipset that supports one 4X AGP
slot for highly graphics display, 100/133 MHz DDR, and Ultra
DMA ATA100/133 function to provide outstanding high system
performance under all types of system operations. The mainboard
has the built-in AC97 Codec, a CNR (Communications and
Networking Riser) slot and a built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX
Network Interface. This mainboard has the 128-bit 2D/3D AGP
Graphics Accelerator with 32MB frame buffer, supporting AGP
4X 266MHz mode up to 1GB/s bandwidth, which provides a direct
connection between the graphics sub-system and memory so that
the graphics do not have to compete for processor time with other
devices on the PCI bus. There is a full set of I/O Ports including
PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, one serial port, one onboard VGA
(S3) port, one parallel port, and maximum six USB2.0 ports – four
back-panel ports and onboard USB header USB3 providing two
extra ports by connecting the Extended USB Module to the
mainboard.
This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful
multimedia workstation that is network ready. The board is Micro
ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX power supply.
