1.1 Special features

1.1.1 Product highlights

AMD Athlon. 64 processor support
The mainboard comes with a 754-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket that supports
the AMD Athlon. 64 processor. With an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth memory controller
and a highly scalable HyperTransport technology-based system bus, the mainboard provides a
powerful platform for your diverse computing needs. HyperTransport features a 16-bit/1.6 GHz data
transfer rate between the processor and the system chipset for a total 6.4 GB/s bandwidth. This
speeds up the link between computer peripherals and optimizes overall system performance.
VIA K8M800 and VT8237 chipset
The VIA K8M800 northbridge is a 128-bit processor controller that uses the HyperTransport bus link
to interconnect with the AMD64 processor. The K8M800 features the S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro
integrated graphics processor (IGP) to run the latest 3D and digital media applications without an
external AGP graphics card.
The VT8237 southbridge employs the VIA DriveStation Controller Suite that enables multiple drive
configuration through native Serial ATA, RAID, and Parallel ATA133 support.
DDR400 support
The mainboard features a single memory architecture for up to 2 GB system memory. Two 184-pin
DIMM sockets are available for installation of unbuffered non-ECC PC3200/2700 DDR DIMMs.
Integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN
Onboard is a Realtek 8201CL LAN PHY that works with the integrated MAC in the VT8237
southbridge to fully support 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet networking.
