Overview

The main board utilizes Intel's i810 chipset integrated with new architects such as
integrated graphic, sound, ULTRA DMA-66, USB & AMR is designed to FC-
PGA or PPGA Celeron / Coppermine P!!! / VIA Cyrix III Socket-370 CPUs.
Intel's i810 is a cost-effective yet high-performance chipset which has integrated
graphics controller (i752) with a 24 Bit 230MHz RAMDAC & software MPEG2
decoder. It supports UMA (unified memory architect) mode up to 64MB with
main memory or 4MB 3D texture memory (or called display cache, optional
function ) that can accelerate its 3D graphics performance. The on board AC-97
CODEC chip provides perfect 3D sound function.
The main board also employs ITE I/O LPC controller with full Plug and Play
device and keyboard password setup. It supports 2.88 MB Floppy, Dual 16550
compatible (with 16 bytes FIFO, up to 460K baud rate) serial Port, ECP
(Enhanced Capabilities Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) parallel port,
SPP(Standard Parallel Port), Infrared IrDA (HPSIR), and Amplitude Shift Keyed
IR. (ASKIR) port and hardware monitor functions too.
The main board contains 2*PCI for highest performance I/O add-on adapter cards.
The system board supports three Bus Mastering Slots for high-performance I/O
add-on cards. It supports Matrix Independent PCI routing for optimal multiple
PCI adapter operations and is PCI2.2 specification compliant. 133MB/s data
transfer rate can be compared to 33MB/s. It supports back to back sequential CPU
to PCI Memory writes to PCI Burst Write for full PCI throughput. The AMR Slot
is designed to fit low cost A(Audio) M(Modem) R(Riser) or MR card.
