Chapter 3 Hardware Description 3.1 Processor and CPU Voltage The TI5VGF is designed to take a Pentium Processor with a bus speed of 66, 75, 83 and 100 MHz. The internal clock of the CPU can be multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5 of the bus clock, the CPU frequency can be 100 to 550MHz.
Chapter 3 Hardware Description 3.4 BIOS The BIOS on the TI5VGF motherboard provides the standard BIOS functions plus the following additional features: 1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface) The motherboard supports DMI to enable computer system management in an enterprise. 2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts.
IRQ15 Secondary IDE 3.11 Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Slot The TI5VGF motherboard comes with an AGP slot for an AGP VGA card that supports 133MHz 2X mode for AD and SBA signaling to provide high-performance 3D graphic display. TI5VGF Pentium MVP3 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual...
