Overview
AGP and PCI Expansion Slots
One AGP Bus and three PCI Bus expansion slots provided the room to
install a full range of add-on cards.
Compact Onboard Audio Subsystem
Embeded in VIA VT82335, an integrated high bandwidth V-Link client
controller, direct sound AC97 audio subsystem. UltraDMA master mode
EIDE controller, USB controller, ACPI enhanced power management, and
PC99 compliant. The onboard AC97 Codec chip has two options: either
supports 2-channel or 5.1-channel audio feature. If the latter one onbaord,
the Microphone/Line_In/Line_Out can be used as audio output.
Super Multi Input/Output (I/O) Support
Integrated Plug and Play multi-I/O chipset features two high-speed UART
16550 compatible serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, one IR
port, and one FDD connector.
Onboard Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
The motherboard is installed one 32-bit AGP 4X bus with a dedicated
66MHz/133MHz path from the graphics card to the system memory offer-
ing much greater bandwidth than the 32-bit PCI bus does. AGP enabled 3D
graphics cards can directly access main memory across this fast path
instead of using local memory.
Convenient Rear Panel USB Connection Support
Four USB 2.0 ports integrated in the rear I/O panel and two extra USB 2.0
ports for either front or rear panel connection allow convenient and high-
speed Plug and Play connections to the growing number of USB 2.0
compliant peripheral devices on the market.
