EDO & 67~100 MHz for SDRAM. The DRAM memory system on mainboard
consists of bank 0, 1, 2 & bank 3. Each bank consists of 3 PCS 168 pins
DIMM module DRAM.
Because the 168 pins DIMM module is 64 bits width, using 1 PCS which can
match a 64 bits system. The total memory size is 8 MB ~ 1 GB EDO /
512MB SDRAM. The DRAM installation position refer to Figure 3.1, and
notice the Pin 1 of DIMM module must match with the Pin 1 of DIMM socket.
Insert the DRAM DIMM module into the DIMM socket at Vertical angle. If
there is a wrong direction of Pin 1, the DRAM DIMM module couldn't be
inserted into socket completely.

3.5. CPU SPEED SETUP

The system's speed is fixed to 66.6MHz. The user can change the DIP
SWITCH 

(S1)

 selection to set up the CPU speed for 233 - 633MHz processor.

The CPU speed must match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause system
hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than CPU's.

The CPU is a sensitive electric component and it can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so users must keep it away from
metal surface when the CPU is installed onto mainboard.

3.6. CMOS RTC & ISA CFG CMOS SRAM

There're RTC & CMOS SRAM on board; they have a power supply from
external battery to keep the DATA inviolate & effective. The RTC is a REAL-
TIME CLOCK device, which provides the DATE & TIME to system. The
CMOS SRAM is used for keeping the information of system configuration, so
