audio. The Intel
Pentium
II/III processor supports MMX
(Multimedia
Extension) technology.
®
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel
82443BX AGP chipset to
support the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP
®
bridge. The Intel
82371EB 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 Intel
82371EB chipset also improves the IDE
transfer rate by supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate
of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller as an
optional function. Its functions include: CPU /power supply/chassis fan
revolution detect, CPU/system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor,
and chassis intrusion detect(optional).
