Introduction 
The MS-6337 LE5 ATX mainboard is a high-performance computer
mainboard based on Inte ® 815EP chipset. The MS-6337 UMB (Universa
Motherboard) is optimized to support the who e series of new generation Inte ®
Pentium® III (FC-PGA/FC-PGA2) processors for high-end business/persona
desktop markets.
The Inte 815EP chipset contains two components: the 82815EP Memory
Contro er Hub (MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Contro er Hub 2 (ICH2). The
MCH integrates a 66/100/133-MHz, P6 fami y system bus contro er , AGP (2X/
4X) discrete graphics card, 100/133-MHz SDRAM contro er, and a high speed
acce erated hub architecture interface for communication with the ICH2. The
ICH2 integrates an U traATA/100 contro er, 2 USB host contro ers with a tota
of 4 ports, LPC interface contro er, FWH interface contro er, PCI interface
contro er, AC97 digita ink, integrated LAN contro er, and a hub interface for
communication with the MCH.
