2.1.1 Specifications

• Processor: Supports Socket A-based AMD Athlon™/AMD Duron™ processors
running at 533MHz up to 1.2GHz with Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of
100MHz.
• North/South Bridge System Chipset: Features the SiS730S single chip that
complements the powers of the Socket A-based processor. The chipset integrates
the Ultra-AGP technology and 128-bit 2D/3D graphic engine to deliver AGP 4X
performance and up to 1GB/s memory bandwidth.
• PC133 SDRAM / VC133 VCM / HSDRAM Support: Equipped with two Dual
Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support up to 1GB of memory using
unbuffered PC133/100-compliant or NEC's VC133-compliant Virtual Channel
(VC) SDRAMs, and Enhanced Memory System's High-speed DRAMs
(HSDRAMs).
• JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of
frequency and Vcore voltage through BIOS setup when the JumperFree™ mode
is enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches come with the motherboard board to allow
manual adjustment of the processor external/internal frequency.
• UltraDMA/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller
with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports
UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4, Bus Master
IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM,
CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
• LAN Support: Features the RealTek RTL8100 Fast-Ethernet LAN controller
that fully supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.
• Super Multi-I/O: Builts-in the iTE IT8705F chipset to support two high-speed
UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.
UART2 can also be directed from COM2 to an external infrared module for
wireless connections.
• IrDA: Supports an optional infrared port module for wireless interface.
• Wake-On-LAN: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through a WOL connector
or an optional ASUS PCI-L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card.
• Wake-On-Ring: Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI modem card
that supports a WOR connector.
