HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
This motherboard is based on the one of three option --- Intel® 82440BX, Intel®
82440ZX or VIA® VT82C693 chipset. The chipset is a highly integrated solution
for a cost-effective and compact motherboard. The motherboard supports
standard DIMM module, PC-100 DIMM module or Registered DIMM Module.
Features on-board include super-I/O, Ultra DMA33, PCI bus master IDE, AGP
Ver 1.0, PCI Ver 2.1 compliance, USB, VRM 8.4 compliance, ECC, ATX specification
1.0 compliance, hardware monitoring (optional), On-board Sound Sub-system
(optional).(Notice: Intel® 82440ZX No Registered DIMM Support, No ECC).
This motherboard is ready for PC99 requirements.
