Introduction of S450/S450L Motherboard 

1-1  Feature of motherboard 

The S450/S450L motherboard is design for use Intel Pentium 4 Processor in 478 Pin Package 
Processor with the SiS 650 Chipset delivers a high performance and professional desktop 
platform solution. Which utilize the Socket 478 design and the memory size expandable to 
2.0GB.  

These motherboards use the newest SiS 650 Chipset Supports 400MHz System Bus in data 
transfer rate and 100MHz/133MHz clock frequency, support DDR200/ DDR266 DDR 
SDRAM Module.  And use SiS 961 MuTIOL Media IO supports 533MB/s transfer data 
from/to sub-system to/from the Muti-threaded I/O Link Encoder/Decoder in SiS 961. 

These motherboards offer ULTRA ATA 

100 

to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts 

overall system performance. 

The S450L motherboard including LAN controller support 10/100 Mb/sec BASE T 
transfer rate Ethernet.

 

These motherboards also has an integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully 
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro

 that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. 

The S450/S450L integrated High Performance & High Quality 3D Accelerator supports Ultra-
AGPII with 2GB/s bandwidth, built-in MPEG-2/1 Video Decoder and Video Accelerator 
supports VCD.DVD HDTV decoding and playback, supports graphic and video overlay 
function. Built-in programmable 24-bit true-color RAMDAC up to 333MHz pixel clock. 
Programmable frame buffer size from 8MB and up to 64MB. For those wanting even greater 
graphic performance, an AGP 4X slot is included on the board, support AGP 2X/4X 
capability and Fast write Transaction. 

With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB function ports delivering 
2x12Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, the S450/S450L meet future USB demand also 
this motherboard has built-in hardware monitor function to monitor and protect your computer. 
These motherboards also 

integrated Recovery Genius in BIOS

 to protect your hard disk from 

virus infect hard disk data.   

A useful software tool “Magic BIOS” examines the BIOS version automatically with the 
correct version available on the web, links the site for users to download the latest version of 
BIOS and updates the BIOS.  Use “Magic BIOS”, users can download and update BIOS 
automatically and completed under the OS easily. 

S450/S450L provides high performance & meets future specification demand.  It is really wise 
choice for your computer.
