INTRODUCTION
Preface
The motherboard is a LPX form factor high performance all in one mainboard. It is developed
around the pentium microprocessor with 64-bit access to data transfer and MMX technology.
It includes VIA VT82C598MVP system chipset, ATI 3D Rage Turbo AGP/Rage II C AGP
Integrated Graphics Accelerator, Winbond W83977EF-AW super I/O chip, Optional ESS
1869 Sound System.
Features
Processor
