The NLX BX4 mainboard is a high-performance personal computer
mainboard based on Intel
®
Pentium
®
II processor. It combines Intel
®
740
graphics accelerator, YAMAHA
®
YMF740 enhanced audio, and Intel
®
82558
10/100M Ethernet . The Pentium
®
II processor supports MMX
TM
(Multime-
dia Extension) technology.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel
®
82443BX chipset to support
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The
Intel
®
82371EB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function. The Intel
®
82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller. This
function includes: CPU /power supply/chassis fan revolution detect, CPU/
system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor, and chassis intrusion
detect.
