HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
This motherboard is based on the Intel® 82440BX/ZX/VIA®VT82C693 chipset.
The chipset is a highly integrated solution for a cost-effective and compact
motherboard. The motherboard supports SDRAM, Registered SDRAM. Features
on-board include super-I/O, Ultra DMA33/66(DMA66 only for VT82C596B) PCI
busmasterIDE,AGPVer.1.0,PCIVer2.1compliance,USB,VRM8.4compliance,
ECC (only for 440BX/VIA®VT82C693), Micro ATX specification 1.0 compliance ,
On-board PCI Sound Sub-system (optional).
