Introduction 

 
This mainboard has a 

slot-1

 processor socket for an 

Intel 

processor cartridge

, and it also has a 

socket-370

 for an 

Intel 

PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) Celeron 

processor. You can 

install either one of these processors according to the power and 
performance requirements that you need from your system. 

Note 

that you cannot install two processors on this mainboard. 

 
Slot-1 processors include the 

SEPP (Single Edge Processor 

Package) Celeron, the Pentium-II, and the Pentium-III.

 Clock 

rates run as high as 

600 MHz

. Socket-370 processors are the 

PPGA Celeron

 which runs at clock rates up to 

533 MHz

. The 

mainboard supports a system bus of 

66 MHz

 or 

100 MHz

 
The mainboard uses the BXcel chipset which is highly integrated 
and includes a built-in 

PCI 3D Sound System

. A 

V.90 Fax/ 

Modem DAA module

 is also shipped with the mainboard. In 

addition, the mainboard has a full set of

 I/O Ports

 including two 

serial ports, a parallel port, one PS/2 port and two USB ports.  
 
This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful 
multimedia workstation with built-in communications. The board 
is 

baby-AT sized

 and has power connectors for 

ATX

 and 

AT

 

power supply units.
