HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The motherboard is based on the VIA
®
VT82C691 Chipset. The chipset is a
highly integrated solution enabling a cost effective motherboard and desktop
design for the Mendocino PPGA processor. The main board supports 3.3V
FP,EDO,SDRAM and SDRAM-II. The features on board include Super-I/O, Ultra
DMA33 / PCI bus master IDE , PCI ver2.1 compliant, AGP specification
compliant, USB, VRM 8.2 compliant, On-board sound Sub-system(Optional).
This motherboard is ready for PC98 requirements.
