1-1. Features of NV7m Motherboard
This motherboard is designed for AMD Socket A Athlon
™
XP, Athlon
™
and Duron
™
processors. It
supports the AMD Socket-A structure, with up to 1 GB
(Unbuffered & Non-ECC)
of memory, super I/O.
and Green PC functions. The ABIT NV7m is an excellent computer motherboard based on the innovative
nForce 420D chipset, which supports powerful Geforce 2 3D graphics, AC3 audio and LAN for an all in
one Micro ATX form factor solution with high performance value.
The NVIDIA nForce 420D chipset used in this motherboard supports two DDR DIMMs up to 1 GB
maximun. The memory controller can support Non-ECC DDR (up to DDR PC 2100 it running on 133
MHz) memory and support twin bank memory architecture for up to 4.2GB/s bandwidth. The AGP
interface can support external AGP slot with AGP 1X/2X/4X (1.5V graphics card only) capability and
Fast Write Transactions.
The NV7m has a built in Ultra DMA 100 function. This means that it provides speedier HDD throughput
boosting overall system performance. Ultra DMA 100 is the new standard for IDE devices. It enhances
existing Ultra DMA 33 technology by increasing both performance and data integrity. This new
high-speed interface almost doubles the Ultra DMA 66 burst data transfer rate to 100 Mbytes/sec. The
result is maximum disc performance using the current PCI local bus environment. Another benefit is you
can connect four IDE devices in your system through either Ultra DMA 66 or Ultra DMA 100. You will
have more flexibility to expand your computer system.
This motherboard also supports three PCI slots and one AGP slot. This motherboard has built-in hardware
monitoring functions that monitors and protects your computer, insuring a safe computing environment. It
equips the Realtek ALC201A 2-channel audio and 8201L 10/100 Mbps LAN controller.
The NV7m optional SPDIF out module turns your computer into a high-end entertainment system with
optical and coaxial connectivity to powerful speaker system (CA-21).
