MOTHERBOARD DESCRIPTION

1-1

INTRODUCTION

The

SY-K7AIA

AGP/PCI

Motherboard is a high-performance Slot A

supported ATX form-factor system board.

SY-K7AIA

uses the AMD 750

Chipset technology and supports Slot A class processors. This

Motherboard is fully compatible with industry standards and adds many

technical enhancements.

KEY FEATURES

CPU SUPPORT

The SY-K7AIA supports a wide range of AMD ™

CPUs:

AMD ™(500~750+) MHz

New released Intel Slot A CPUs will very likely be supported by the SY-

K7AIA as well.

CPU SETTINGS

The SY-K7AIA provides the user with a very complete and convenient

CPU setting environment. The CPU settings are auto detected and set

automatically, therefore rendering the use of jumpers obsolete.

CPU FSB Frequency

The SY-K7AIA supports a wide range of CPU FSB frequency settings:

500,550,600,650,700,750,750+
