Without LAN and USB 2.0
•
An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture
that provides the bandwidth up to 533 MB/s and per-
formance necessary for even the most demanding
Internet and 3D graphics
•
Support for an 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D
graphics and video performance
•
An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps
boost system performance by providing a high-speed
connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering
maximum sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec
Additional key features include support for six USB ports,
an AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring,
and ACPI/OnNow power management.
Memory
•
The mainboard accommodates 2 DDR + 2 SDR 168 pin,
3.3V DIMM sockets with a total capacity of 1 GB system
memory
•
Supports DDR up to 333MHz (enhanced) memory bus
AGP
This mainboard includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times
the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technol-
ogy provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-
system and memory so that the graphics do not have to com-
pete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
