  Introduction

Chapter 1 Specification

 This series features an integration of the powerful AMD processors

Athlon/Athlon XP/Duron and the North Bridge nVIDIA nFORCE2 Ultra
400 (nFORCE2 SPP) plus South Bridge nFORCE2 MCP, with which
the whole system performance supports 400/333/266/200MHz system
bus.

 nVIDIA nFORCE2 Ultra 400 (nFORCE2 SPP) plus nFORCE2 MCP

supports on-board AMD processors to implement the 400/333/266/200
MHz Front Side Bus, the AGP 8X/4X interface, the LPC Super I/O, the
Dual-channel DDR 400/333/266 MHz SDRAM, the 6-channel AC’97
Audio interface, the USB 2.0 interface and ATA 133/100/66 data trans-
fer rate.  This chapter is to introduce to users every advanced function
of this high performance integration.
