Introduction of 618AS Pro/618AF Pro/618AS Pro-R/618AF Pro-R
Motherboard
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The motherboard is design for use Intel’s new generation Pentium III /Tualatin processors,
which utilize the Socket 370 design and the memory size expandable to 512MB.
This motherboard use the newest Intel chipset, whose 133MHz front side bus & 133MHz
memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz
processors and PC-133 SDRAM. It offers ULTRA DMA 100MB/sec (ATA 100) to provide
speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
The 618AS Pro-R/618AF Pro-R including IDE RAID chipset and added extra 2 channel
IDE interface supports either ATA100, or RAID0 (striping)/RAID1 (mirroring) function. Use
RAID0 function it can increasing data storage performance, use RAID1 function it can
protect data which save in hard disk drive.
For 618AF Pro/618AF Pro-R, with integrated 3D Graphic Accelerator, makes this board lower
cost alternative to a video card. For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an
AGP 4X slot is included on the board. This AGP slot will support either a 4X VGA card or
a 4MB display cache AGP In-line Memory Module (AIMM). And for 618AS Pro/618AS
Pro-R, this board provides on board AGP 4X slot for those wanting even greater graphic
performance.
The motherboard integrated AC’97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with
Sound Blaster Pro
that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. With 2 USB
control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB connectors, which guarantees this board
to meet future USB demand. Moreover, this motherboard has built-in hardware monitor
function that capable of monitor and protect your computer. In 618AS Pro/618AF Pro
motherboards integrated Recovery Genius in BIOS protected your hard disk from virus
crash hard disk data, and special design in hardware to protect BIOS from virus crash BIOS
data.
In these motherboards we design in CPU Vcore Voltage, System 3.3V Voltage, memory
3.3V Voltage and AGP 1.5V/3.3V Voltage those can minor adjustable in BIOS setup.
This design can let users approach over clock demand and also can make system more
stable. The motherboard also provides special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host
clock step by step increasing let users to approach over clocking
.
This motherboard provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is
really wise choice for your computer.
