Congratulations on purchasing the L4IBME mainboard. The L4IBME main-
board is a quality, high performance, function-enhanced mainboard based on
Intel/P4 Willamette/Northwood processors.
The board offers outstanding I/O capabilities, with Ultra-DMA 33/66 bus, a
floppy controller, two serial port connectors, an EPP/ECP capable parallel port
connector, two USB connectors, a LAN connector and more. The three PCI
local bus slots and one CNR slot provides outstanding expandability for add-
on peripheral cards.
This mainboard uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures 244 mm x
224 mm. With system bus speeds up to 400/533MHz data bus bandwidths up
to 3.2GB/s / 4.2GB/s, this mainboard represents the most powerful desktop
and cost-effective integrated solution available today.
The L4IBME incorporates the Intel i82845E (MCH) and the Intel 82801DB
(ICH4) chipsets, which supports 2.5V DDR DRAM, 2X/4X AGP (1.5V only),
AC’ 97 codec and USB 2.0.
