Congratulations on purchasing the P4ITM mainboard. The
P4ITM mainboard is a Micro ATX mainboard that uses a 6-
layer printed circuit board and measures 244 mm x 244 mm.
The mainboard features a Socket 423 that accommodates In-
tel Pentium 4 processors supporting frontside bus (FSB)
speeds up to 400 MHz and data bus bandwidths up to 3.2
GB/s.
The P4ITM incorporates the Intel Tehama 850 Northbridge
and Intel 82801BA (ICH2) Southbridge chipsets, combining
support for two-channel Rambus DRAM (RDRAM), 2X/4X
AGP (1.5V only), and the AC 97 codec.
The Intel 82801I/O controller hub includes an integrated au-
dio-codec controller that lets the processor efficiently decode
sound generated by the integrated audio system.
