Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing the MS8127C mainboard. The
MS8127C is a ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit
board and measures 305 mm x 220 mm. The mainboard has a
Socket 462 to accommodate AMD Athlon (K7) processors that
support frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 200 MHz. The
MS8127C is installed with the VT8363 (NB)/ VT82C686A (SB)
chipset and built-in 3D sound that features the AC 97 audio
codec.
The mainboard delivers high-level performance with a 4xAGP
(Accelerated Graphics Port) slot and two PCI Bus Master Ultra
DMA (UDMA) ports that support up to four ATAPI (AT Attachment
Packet Interface) devices. The PCI IDE also supports PIO Mode 3
and 4, UDMA33/66 IDE, and an ATAPI CD-ROM.
The mainboard accommodates PC 100/133 SDRAM
(Synchronous DRAM) or VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) up to
1.5 GB using three 3.3V unbuffered DIMM modules. The
mainboard attains the highest reliability by supporting ECC
(Error Checking and Correction) memory protection, enabling
the mainboard to achieve superior data integrity and fault-
tolerance with respect to memory errors while running
applications.
Other features include a built-in PCI 3D sound system that supports
the AC 97 audio codec. The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports,
such as dual channel PCI EIDE interfaces, a floppy controller, two
FIFO serial port connectors, an EPP/ECP-capable bi-directional
parallel port connector, a dual USB (Universal Serial Bus)
connector, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.
One AGP slot, five PCI local bus slots and an audio modem riser
(AMR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.
