Processor The MS9127C mainboard includes a mPGA Socket 478 that
has the following features:
•
Supports up to a 400/533 MHz front side bus (FSB)
•
Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors
Chipset The chipset on MS9127C includes the VT8754 Northbridge
and VT8235 Southbridge which are based on an innovative
and scalable architecture with proven reliability and perform-
ance. A few of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that
provides the 512 MB/s bandwidth and performance nec-
essary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D
graphics
•
Support for an 2x/4x/8xAGP interface providing vivid 3D
graphics and video performance
•
An ATA 133 interface on the VT8235 chipset, which helps
boost system performance by providing a high-speed
connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering
maximum sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec
Additional features include support for Six USB ports (Four
back-panel USB 2.0 ports, onboard USB headers providing
maximum two extra ports), an AC 97 link for audio and mo-
dem, hardware monitoring, and ACPI/OnNow power
management.
•
Supports DDR SDRAM up to 200/266/333 MHz memory
Memory
module
•
Accommodates three 184 pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM sockets
with a total capacity of 3 GB.
AGP The MS9127C includes an 8xAGP slot that provides eight
times the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. The
AGP 3.0 (8xAGP) offers a significant increase in performance
along with feature enhancements to AGP2.0. This interface
represents the natural evolution from the existing AGP to meet
the ever-increasing demands placed on the graphic interfaces
within the workstation and desktop environments.
AC' 97 Audio The AC'97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC' 97 2.2 speci-
Codec fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)
and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit
stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sam-
pling rates. Further features include support for four analog
line-level stereo inputs.
USB 2.0 The built-in VIA VT8235 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant
with Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
The USB 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to 480Mb/sec for
high-speed devices and specifies a microframe that will be
th
1/8 of a 1msec frame. This allows the USB 2.0 devices to
have small buffers even at high data rates.
The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-
port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.
