Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the MS7112C mainboard. This
mainboard features the latest VIR ET82C693A/596B chipset. This is a
very special mainboard which allows you to install almost any kind of
Intel Pentium-II/III processor. The MS7112C is a full-sized ATX board
measuring 305x220mm and using 4-layer printed circuit board.
The MS7112C has a special design feature so that it includes a Pentium-
II Slot-1 processor slot and a PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) Celeron
Socket-PGA370 processor socket. This feature means that you can
install the mainboard with either a Pentium-III cartridge, a Pentium-
II cartridge, the SEPP (Single Edge Processor Package) Celeron
cartridge, or one of the new generation PPGA Celeron cartridges.
In addition, the mainboard supports 66 MHz,100MHz memory bus, or a
133 MHz memory bus, so you can use 66MHz or 100MHz memory chips,
or higher-performance PC-133 memory chips. The board is installed with
an integrated PCI-3D sound system and has a full suite of I/O ports.
Seven expansion slots are available for system development and
hardware monitoring is supported.
This board allows complete flexibility. System integrators can choose the
high-performance Pentium-II processor cartridge or the inexpensive
PPGA Celeron processor according to the system requirements and the
price/performance comparison of the two kinds of processor.
