INTRODUCTI
ON
The motherboard is designed to support the latest PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) local bus standard. It is developed around the pentium
microprocessor (P54C) with 64-bit access to data transfer, and integrated with the
I/O chip (W83877F), Sound System (ESS1868), VGA Controller (SiS 5596), and
PCI IDE Master/Slave Controller (SiS 5513) to form a high performance and cost-
effective computer system.
