Features
Performance
!Intel Pentium® III and Celeron processor with integrated L2 cache memory in Flip Chip (FC)-PGA
370 socket form factor
!Expandable system memory to a maximum of 512 MB
NOTE: Due to a chipset limitation you can only use two DIMM sockets (DIMM1 and DIMM2) when you install
a 133 MHZ front side bus CPU. If you install a 100 MHz front side bus CPU then you can use all of the
DIMM sockets.
!Power management function
!Reserved keylock and intrusion alarm function
!3.5-inch floppy disk drive
!CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive
!High-capacity, Enhanced-IDE hard disk
Multimedia
!128-bit graphics accelerator onboard with an additional AGP card slot
NOTE: The onboard VGA function will automatically be disabled when you install an AGP VGA card in the
AGP slot.
!3-D quality audio system via onboard audio controller
!Supports CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitors
!Audio-in/Line-in, Audio-out/Line-out, Headphone-out, Mic-in, and Game/MIDI interfaces
NOTE: The system has two microphone-in ports (front and rear). However, you can not use both of them at
the same time. The default setting for your system enables the microphone-in port in front and disables
the one at the back. You must first enable the front microphone-in port before you can use it.
