speed configurations are automatically set through the board’ s firmware,
which means changing switch or jumper settings on the motherboard is not
necessary.
High Performance -
The board has two DIMM sockets for the installation of 168-pin, 3.3V non-
buffered DIMM memory modules. The DIMM memory modules must be
SDRAM memory chips. The board supports a memory bus of 100/66MHz,
and each DIMM socket can accept modules up to 256MB in capacity for up
to 512MB of total system memory.
3D Graphic VGA & Clear 32-bit Audio Built In -
Full multimedia function is integrated onto the motherboard, which means
you won’ t need to spend extra money on additional adapters, processors and
cards. Either 2D or 3D graphics can be displayed, and the motherboard
comes with a 4MB onboard SDRAM display cache that supports 1024 X 768
X 16-bit 3D graphics and 1600 X 1200 X 8-bit color 2D graphics. AC’ 97
DAC/ADC, which is built into the audio CODEC, reduces noise and results
in improved audio quality and performance for a signal to noise ratio of
+90dB. These features greatly improve voice synthesis and recognition.
Double or Quadruple IDE Transfer Speeds -
IDE transfers using UltraDMA/33 Bus Master IDE technology can handle
rates of up to 33MB/sec., while UltraDMA/66 technology supports IDE
transfer speeds of 66MB/sec. Best of all, this technology is compatible with
existing ATA-2 IDE specifications, so there is no need to upgrade current
IDE devices or cables.
Slot Expansion Options -
The motherboard has a full set of expansion slots, with five usable slots: four
32-bit PCI slots and one 8/16-bit ISA slot. The ISA slot and one PCI slot
share the same physical area, which means you cannot use both at the same
time.(BIW1A-I only)
Integrated I/O -
With its built-in Windbond I/O chip, this motherboard has a comprehensive
set of integrated I/O ports. The I/O port array features PS/2 keyboard and
mouse ports, a parallel port, two USB ports, two serial ports, a monitor port,
a game/MIDI port, and three audio jacks. You may also use the built-in
