OVERVIEW
This Mainboard is a high performance personal computer mainboard. It is the
baby-AT form-factor with both Slot 1 (optional) and Socket 370 designed on the
board for different type of CPU package. The Intel® i810 chipset is chosen as the
core logic of the mainboard to give the most outstanding performance and
reliability. It is designed for 233, 266, 300, 333, 350, 366, 400, 433, 450, 466, 500,
550, 600MHz and higher speed Pentium™ II/III and Celeron™ processors
This mainboard has built-in two channels of “PIO” and “Ultra DMA33/66 Bus
Master” mode PCI IDE ports to connect the modern IDE devices. In addition, one
Floppy Disk control port, two high speed Serial ports (UARTs), one multi-mode
Parallel port, One PS/2™ mouse port, one IR interface and two USB ports are
designed on the board.
There are the 3D PCI audio and AGP VGA interfaces built on the board. These
onboard interfaces are the PnP devices (Plug and Play) and they are fully
compatible with the Windows environment. So you don't have to purchase another
sound card or VGA card because they are integrated on the mainboard.
Pentium™ II, Pentium™ III and Celeron™ are the 32-bit processors with RISC
technology, which offers several key features such as built-in 512K/256K/128K L2
cache, 12-stage super-pipeline architecture, out of order execution … etc. In order
to optimize of its capabilities and performances, the 32-bit Operating System (such
as Windows 95®, Windows 98®, Windows NT® and OS/2™ …etc.) and 32-bit
applications are recommended.
The 810 chipset is designed to support the 66MHz and 100MHz Front Side
Bus (FSB) CPUs. There is the CPU booster which comes with the 810DT+
and it will allow you to install 133MHz FSB Pentium III processor on the
socket 370 connector and deliver the performance of PC-133 architecture.
Please refer to the following picture for the outlook of the CPU booster:
Install the CPU booster on Slot 1 allows you to use the 133MHz FSB CPU on
socket 370 and it will increase the system performance.
