INTRODUCTION
Product Description
This mainboard represents the highest level of technology available in PC
Mainboards today. Designed as a flexible, high-performance and cost-effective
solution for System Integrators and End Users alike, this mainboard provides the
power and expandability to meet the requirements of the most advanced operating
systems and software applications.
This mainboard features “
SLOT 1
” architecture, a modular design that supports
the latest Intel® Pentium® III processors (running at 450MHz
∼
700MHz with a
100MHz system bus and
for board REV2.0 or later
533MHz
∼
733MHz on a
133MHz system bus), Pentium® II processors (running at 233MHz
∼
333MHz
with a 66MHz system bus and 350MHz
∼
450MHz on a 100MHz system bus) as
well as Celeron® processors. Leading edge
AGP
2X
graphic capability is provided
for the full range of graphic intensive games and programs. The
ATX
form factor
design allows for more efficient system assembly with built-in mouse, serial and
parallel port connectors. This eliminates the need for separate ribbon
cable/connector brackets and speeds the manufacturing process.
Advanced hardware designs include ACPI’s
Suspend to RAM
for the
implementation of Instantly Available PCs. Also, by incorporating
Super I/O
,
Bus
Mastering IDE
and
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
onto the mainboard, optimum
system performance is assured and system design and implementation is
simplified.
Fully “
Plug & Play
” compatible via an Award BIOS, this mainboard facilitates
easy system configuration and peripheral setup. Advanced BIOS features include
Intelligent Hardware Monitoring and Alert functions
. The Award BIOS also
supports
ACPI
readiness and is compatible with
PC98
specification. This
mainboard is the ideal foundation for high-end computer systems.
