Features
The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of proc-
essors that can be installed, and the high level of integration,
which includes built-in audio, video, and communications.
Processors
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the MS7057C features
a Socket 370 accommodating FC-PGA Celeron 533MHz (533A)
and higher CPUs that support a 66 MHz FSB as well as FC-
PGA Pentium III CPUs that support a 100 or 133 MHz FSB.
Intel’s 815EP Chipset
This mainboard features the 815EP chipset from Intel. The
815EP chipset is designed for desktops and workstations and
provides ATA-100, 4xAGP, and SDRAM support.
The 82801BA I/O controller hub makes a direct connection be-
tween the graphics system, the IDE controller, and the PCI bus.
It uses accelerated hub architecture to effectively double the
bandwidth between these components enabling more lifelike
audio and video. The 82801BA I/O controller hub includes an
integrated audio-codec controller that lets the processor more
effectively decode sound generated by the integrated audio
system.
The 82802 firmware hub allows the system and video BIOS to
be stored (eliminating the need for non-volatile CMOS memory)
for faster execution, and provides a random number generator to
enable strong encryption routines.
Expansion Options
The mainboard is pre-installed with features such as an onboard
AC 97 audio codec and an SIR connector. Six 32-bit PCI slots and
one CNR slot provide expansion options.
