Overview
MX3L is a new generation Socket 370 based system board that utilizes Intel
82440LX AGPset on Micro ATX PCI/ISA platform. This AGPset is designed
for Celeron PPGA CPU, and supports new architectures such as high speed
AGP graphic port, SDRAM , Ultra DMA/33 , Bus master IDE and USB port. It
has three Dual in-line Memory Module (DIMM) that allow to install EDO and
SDRAM and expand up to a maximum of 768MB . Also, MX3L uses 2M bit
Flash ROM BIOS to reserve for future new functions.
Not only above features, MX3L also implements a lot of special features as the
following.
Jumper-less Design VID signal and SMbus clock generator provide CPU
voltage auto-detection and allows user to set CPU frequency through CMOS
setup, no jumper or switch is needed. The correct CPU information is saved
into EEPROM, with these technologies, the disadvantages of Pentium base
jumper-less design are eliminated. There will be no worry of wrong CPU
voltage detection and no need to re-open the housing if CMOS battery loss.
The only jumper left is to clear CMOS, which is a safety hook if you forget the
password.
Battery-less MX3L implements EEPROM and special circuit (patent applied)
that allows you to save your current CPU and CMOS Setup configurations
without the need of battery. The RTC (real time clock) can also keep running
as long as power cord is plugged. If you lose your CMOS data by accident, you
can just reload the CMOS configurations from EEPROM and the system will
recover as usual.
APM Suspend To Hard Drive "Immediately" turns on system and goes back
to the original screen before power down. You can resume your original work
directly from hard disk without go through the Win95 booting process and run
your application again. Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work
(system status, memory image) into hard disk. Note that you have to use
VESA compatible PCI VGA, Sound Blaster compatible sound card with APM
driver, for Suspend to Hard Drive to work properly.
