Introduction
This
mainboard is a high performance system hardware based on Intel
Pentium processor and is equipped with an AGP slot, four PCI slots, three
standard ISA slots, Super Multi-I/O controller and dual port PCI-IDE
connectors for the future expansion. The hardware dimension is 220mm x
260mm with a four-layer-design technology.
Specification
