Introduction of Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P Motherboard
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P motherboard is design for use AMD Athlon/Duron/Athlon XP
200MHz/266MHz/333MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus Frequency CPU, which utilize the
Socket-A design.
Kocab 18G motherboard use the newest nVIDIA nForce2 IGP north bridge chipset, integrated
GeForce4 MX series Graphics Processing Unit and TV encoder. Support DDR 266/333 with
internal graphic core, Kocab 18G/ Kocab 18P whose 133MHz/266MHz/333MHz (Double Data
Rate) Front Side Bus frequency delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of
266MHz/333MHz processors and memory interface DDR266/DDR333/DDR400(only for Kocab
18P) DDR SDRAM. The motherboard provided three 184-pin DDR DIMMs support PC3200(for
Kocab 18P only) /PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAMs maximum size up to 3GB. Supports
both 64-bit and 128-bit (Dual Channel) DDR SDRAM. For those wanting even greater graphic
performance, an AGP 4X/8X slot is included on the board. Compliant with AGP 3.0 8x interface
at 533MHz.
The Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P motherboard use nVIDIA nForce2 MCP2-T south bridge offers ULTRA
ATA 66/100/133 to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
These motherboards also have an Audio Processing Unit Support 6-channel speaker for full
surround sound effects. The motherboard provided SPDIF-In/ SPDIF-Out optical function
through Audio-bracket (optional) can connect to SPDIF (Sony & Philips Digital Interface)
Speaker for audio transmission with better quality. Or use SPDIF-In received digital signal from
other SPDIF device.
The motherboard including PCI LAN Controller chip support 10/100 Mb/sec Base transfer rate
for network. The Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P including the 1394 PCI controller provided 100M/
200M/400Mb bandwidth support two 1394 device port, which compliant with IEEE 1394A-2000
standard. With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB function ports support
USB2.0/USB1.1 Devices, the Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P meet future USB demand.
The motherboard integrated Promise PDC20375 Serial-ATA IDE controller provided two Serial-
ATA port and one Parallel ATA port (Master mode only), support serial ATA HDD meet future
IDE demand increase the data transfer rate.
A special design in hardware for protecting Athlon XP CPU from burned, the system will auto
shutdown power supply when CPU is overheat, or the CPU FAN is stop. The motherboard has
built-in hardware monitor function. This will monitor and protect your computer.
In Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P we design in CPU Vcore Voltage, DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP
1.5V Voltage those can minor adjustable in BIOS setup. This design can let users approach
over clock demand and also can make system more stable. The Kocab 18G/ Kocab 18P
motherboard provides special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host clock let users to
approach over clocking, and special design in hardware to protect BIOS from virus crash BIOS
data.
Kocab 18G/Kocab 18P provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is
really wise choice for your computer.
