Chapter 1

MOTHERBOARD DESCRIPTION

1-1 INTRODUCTION

The

SY-K7V DRAGON Plus!

AGP/PCI

Motherboard is a

high-performance Socket A ATX form-factor system board. The

SY-K7V

DRAGON Plus!

uses VIA Chipset technology and supports Socket A class

processors. This Motherboard is fully compatible with industry standards
and adds many technical enhancements.

1-2 KEY FEATURES

CPU SUPPORT

The SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! supports THE FOLLOWING AMD

CPUs:

Supports 200/266 MHz Front Side Bus DDR(Double Data Rate)

transfer on Athlon (750MHz~1.4GHz) / Duron



(600MHz~950MHz)

New released AMD Socket A CPUs will very likely be supported by the
SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! as well.

CPU SETTINGS

The SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! provides the user with a very complete and
convenient CPU setting environment. The CPU settings are all adjusted
through the special SOYO COMBO page in the BIOS, therefore rendering
the use of jumpers obsolete.

CPU FSB Frequency

The SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! supports a wide range of CPU FSB frequency
settings: (CPU FSB Frequency can be setup by 1MHz increment)

100~132MHz for 100MHz FSB CPU

133~233MHz for 133MHz FSB CPU

This ensures that the SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! has an overwhelming
overclocking potential.
