Congratulations on purchasing the K7VMM mainboard. This mainboard has a
Socket-A
support for the
AMD K7
processors. The Socket-A processor front-
side bus speed is
200/266MHz
.
This mainboard has a
KM266
chipset that supports a
4X AGP
slot for highly
graphics display, 100/
133 MHz DDR/SDR
, and
Ultra DMA ATA100
function to
provide outstanding high system performance under all types of system op-
erations. The mainboard has the built-in
AC97 Codec
, a
CNR
(Communications and Networking Riser) slot and a built-in
10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface
. This mainboard has the
128-bit
2D/3D AGP Graphics Accelerator
with 32MB frame buffer, supporting
AGP
4X 266MHz
mode up to 1GB/s bandwidth , which provides a direct connection
between the graphics sub-system and memory so that the graphics do not
have to compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus. This
mainboard also has a chipset
VIA
VT6202
supporting the auxiliary
USB 2.0
,
which provides higher bandwidth and is backward compatible with USB1.1.
It implements
Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0
and is com-
pliant with
UHCI 1.1
and
EHCI 0.95
. There is a full set of
I/O Ports
including
PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, two
back-panel USB 2.0
ports, one parallel
port, one serial port and one onboard VGA (S3). Connecting extended USB
modules to the mainboard makes six extra USB ports (header
USB2 & 3 for
USB1.1
; header
USB5 for USB 2.0
).
This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful multim e-
dia workstation that is network ready. The board is
Micro
ATX size
and has
power connectors for an
ATX
power supply.
