Introduction
KuDoz 7X series mainboard utilizes VIA Apollo KT400
(VT8377 + VT8235) Chipset, providing a fully compatible,
high performance and cost-effective ATX platform. The
mainboard provides 200/266/333MHz FSB to support
socket A processors and it supports DDR200/266/333/400
SDRAM with the largest memory size up to 3GB.The new
integrated technologies, together with AC97 Audio, 6 USB
2.0 ports, and Ultra DMA133/100/66/33, give customers an
advanced, multimedia solution at an reasonable price. It
also provides advanced features such as Wake-on-LAN,
Wake-on-Modem,S/PDIF out, CPU overheat triple protection,
and ACPI functions. Suspend to RAM, the optimal imple-
mentation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Inter-
face (ACPI) specification, makes the PCs power consump-
tion drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick
wakeup. BootEasy, our innovation, lets the PC boot freely
and rapidly.
