Processor
The P4IBAD2 mainboard uses a mPGA478 Socket that has
the following features:
•
Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 478-pins CPU
•
Supports a system bus (FSB) of 400/533 (enhanced)
MHz
•
Supports 3.2 GB/s data bus bandwidth
Chipset
Intel’s innovative i82845 (MCH) and 82801BA (ICH2) chipsets
are based on an innovative and scalable architecture with
proven reliability and performance. A few of the advanced
features of the chipsets are:
•
Host interface controller supports 400 MHz frontside (sys-
tem) bus frequency
•
Supports 266 MHz DDR SDRAM devices
•
Supports a max of 2 Double-Sided DIMMs (4 rows popu-
lated) with unbuffered DDR266 (w/ or w/out ECC).
•
Supports a maximum memory bandwidth of 2.1 GB/s with
DDR266
•
AGP controller is AGP 2.0 compliant and supports 2x/4x
Fast Write Protocol (1.5V only)
•
PCI IDE controller supports PCI bus mastering, PIO
modes 0~4, and UDMA 33/66/100
•
Two USB controllers double the bandwidth to 24 Mbps
across four ports
•
Integrated AC’ 97 audio that supports full surround sound
with up to six channels
Additional key features include support for an AC 97 link for audio
and modem, hardware monitoring, and ACPI/OnNow power man-
agement.
Memory
•
Supports DDR up to 200/266/333 (enhanced) MHz DDR
SDRAM memory module
•
Accommodates two unbuffered 2.5V 184-pin slots
•
Each slot supports up to 1 GB with a total maximum
capacity of 2 GB
AGP
The P4IBAD2 includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times the
bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technology pro-
vides a direct connection between the graphics sub-system and
the processor so that the graphics do not have to compete for
processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
Audio
•
Compliant with AC’97 codec
•
Supports 4.1/5.1 speakers, C3DX positional audio in 4/6
channel speaker mode
•
6 channel DAC for AC3® 5.1channel purpose
•
Professional digital audio interface supporting 24-bit
SPDIF IN and OUT (44.1K and 48K format)
•
Compatible with legacy audio SBPRO™
USB 2.0
(optional)
The built-in VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant
with Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-
port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.
The chipset has the following advanced USB features:
