Congratulations on purchasing this motherboard. This motherboard is a Micro-
ATX motherboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures 244
mm x 200 mm. The motherboard is design to support the mPGA Socket 478
Intel P4 Willamette/Northwood/Prescott processors and the new Intel
845GL/845GV chipset.
With system bus speeds up to 533/400 MHz (845GV only), this motherboard
represents the most powerful desktop and cost-effective integrated solution
available today.
The motherboard has an advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual channel
IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, a high-speed serial port, a VGA port, an
EPP/ECP capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal
Serial Bus) connectors, a PS/2 keyboard connector, mouse connector and
audio jacks for microphone, line-in, line-out. One ADD slot, three PCI local
bus slots and one communication and networking riser (CNR) slot provide
expandability for add-on peripheral cards.
In addition to its excellent performance and stability, the motherboard is highly
suited for Internet and rich multimedia applications, including streaming video
download and are ideal for workstations and high-end home use.
