The main board contains 5*PCI & 2*ISA, (four PCI Bus Mastering slots & 1 PCI
Bus Slave slot) for highest performance I/O add-on adapter cards. The system
board supports four Matrix Independent and one Matrix Dependent PCI Interrupt
Routing for complete multiple PCI adapters operation up to 133MB/s data transfer
rate on PCI bus compared to 33MB/s on EISA bus, synchronized operation CPU
to PCI Interface for best graphical performance, 120MB/s PCI to system DRAM
together with utilizing Snoop Ahead Features, and support back to back sequential
CPU to PCI Memory writes to PCI Burst Write for full PCI through put.
The main board is also strengthened with Power Management Wake up Event such
as “Wake on LAN” and “Modem ring on,” which are the new inventions to
enable PCs to be turned on over the network or modem. These are also key
benefits in PC operation, asset management, new system setup and power
conservation.
In addition to the above hardware features, this main board is jumperless design,
which allows user to set CPU frequency through BIOS. No jumper or hardware
DIP switch is needed. With this design, the disadvantages of setting hardware CPU
jumpers are improved to a better and easier procedure through BIOS.
In conclusion, the main board is a combination of the highest in performance,
flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use that meets a variety of price/performance
levels. The main board is an ideal platform for the increasing requirements of
today’s and future’s desktop application.
