Introduction
This mainboard uses the SiS530 chipset to leverage extra
performance from the Socket-7 architecture. The mainboard
supports all Socket-7 processors including newer designs which
feature a 100 MHz system bus. The mainboard firmware supports
CPU Plug and Play so that the system will automatically adopt
the correct configuration for the Socket-7 processor that you
install.
The mainboard is highly integrated and includes a built-in PCI 3D
Sound System and a built-in 3D AGP graphics adapter. The
sound system supports 24-bit digital audio and a 4-way speaker
system. The graphics system supports extended VGA resolutions
with an 8MB frame buffer.
Communications and networking are supported with a V.90
Fax/Modem DAA module and a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network
adapter. The mainboard supports both AT/ATX power supply. If
you use an ATX supply, it supports all of the ATX power
management features including ACPI (Advanced Configuration
and Power management Interface), power saving modes and
keyboard power on hot keys.
The mainboard has a full set of I/O ports and three expansion
slots. It supports hardware monitoring and ships with trend’s
ChipAway Virus virus protection system. The board adheres to
the baby-AT form factor which permits an inexpensive system
case and reduced power supply unit.
