The new mainboard is an ATX sized motherboard supporting the latest gen-
eration of AMD
processors at industry leading speeds. By utilizing DDR (
®
Double Data Rate ) transfer rate effectively reaches Front Side Bus speeds of
200/266/333/400 MHz. The board provides users with an ATA133 data transac-
tion for hard drives and has 3 PC2100/PC2700/PC3200* DIMMs for up to 3 GB.
(* Only two PC3200 SDRAMs at most are allowed on board.)
The board is based around the high performance SiS 748
as North Bridge
and SiS 963/L
(as South Bridge. Its AGP 8X functions supported AGP 3.0
interface and the most robust 3D games with software environments. The AGP
slot onboard supports 0.8/1.5 volt AGP card .
