HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
This motherboard is based on the Intel® 82440EX/LX chipset. The chipset is
a highly integrated solution for a cost-effective and compact motherboard. The
motherboard supports SDRAM and 3.3V EDO. Features on-board include
super-I/O, Ultra DMA33, PCI bus master IDE, AGP Ver 1.0, PCI Ver 2.1
compliance, USB, VRM 8.2 compliance, ECC (440LX ver. only). On-board Sound
Sub-system(optional). This motherboard is ready for the PC98 requirements
