Features of the Board
Overview
Congratulations on purchasing the highest performance motherboard. With the advanced technology available
today, this motherboard is designed to run Pentium®, AMD®and Cyrix®processors. The on-board system
memory consists of DIMM. In addition, two unbuffered, 3.3 Volts, 168-pin SDRAM sockets are also included
for 16 to 256MB synchronous Dynamic memory support. A 321-pins , Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket allows
an easy upgrade path for the future processors.
The motherboard uses SIS 530 chipset. The SIS 530 PCI/ISA Bridge provides an integrated Bus Mastering
IDE controller with two high performance UltraDMA-66 IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices (such as
hard drives or CD-ROM). The PCI/ISA Bridge also including an USB interface. The integrated I/O controller
integrates the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface, two FIFO serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel
port, and support for an IrDA and Consumer Infra Red compatible interface.
On-board 32-bit PCI local bus slots allow a higher bandwidth data path, which serves as a super highway for
intensive data-movement such as video or networking. The BIOS support PCI bridge user configuration, which
allows further expansion of the system with PCI peripherals. Up to two 16-bit ISA slots are provided so that
the board is backward hardware compatible with the older expansion card. A total of five expansion slots can
be populated with add-in cards as one PCI and ISA slots share the same chassis I/O panel.
