Overview
MX64 is a slot 1 based motherboard that utilizes
VIA 694X
AGPset on
Micro
ATX
form factor. It implements an onboard audio CODEC and supports new
architectures such as
AGP 4x
,
SDRAM
,
Ultra DMA 33/66
,
Bus master IDE
and
USB
ports. It supports three Dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots
that allow the installation of
SDRAM
memory and expansion up to a maximum
of
768MB
.
In addition to the above features, MX64 also implements plenty of fabulous
features.
Jumper-less Design
Pentium II / Pentium III / Celeron VID signal and SMbus
clock generator provide CPU voltage auto-detection and allows the user to set
the CPU frequency through the CMOS setup, therefore no jumpers or switches
are used. The correct CPU information is saved into the EEPROM. With these
technologies, the disadvantages of the Pentium based jumper-less designs
are eliminated. There will be no worry of wrong CPU voltage detection and no
need to re-open the housing in case of CMOS battery loss. The only jumper
left is to clear the CMOS, which is a safety hook if you forget the password.
Full-range CPU core voltage
This motherboard supports the CPU core
voltage from 1.3V to 3.5V, that can be applied to various CPU type in future.
Zero Voltage Wake on Modem
In conjunction with ATX soft power On/Off, it
is possible to have system totally power off and wakeup to automatically
answer a phone call such as answering machine or to send/receive fax. The
most important break through is not only external box modem but also internal
modem card can be used to support 0V Wake On Modem. The MX64 and
FM56-P internal modem card implement special circuit (patent applied) to
make sure the modem card work properly without any power.
Wake on LAN
This feature is very similar as 0V Wake On Modem, but it is
through local area network. To use Wake on LAN function, you must have a
network card that supports this feature and also need to install a network
management software.
