HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The Micro ATX motherboard is based on the Intel® 82443BX/ZX Chipset. The
chipset is a highly integrated solution enabling a high performance motherboard
and desktop design for the Pentium® II/Pentium® III processor. The motherboard
supports standard DIMM module, 66MHZ and 100MHz(PC-100) DIMM module
or Registered DIMM module. The features on board include Super-I/O, Ultra
DMA33/PCI bus master IDE , AGP 1.0 compliance, PCI 2.1 compliance, USB,
VRM 8.2 compliance, ECC(BX only), Micro ATX specification 1.0 compliant,
on-board sound system (optional).
This motherboard is ready for PC99 requirements.
