Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Thunderbolt system board.
TheThunderboltistheultimate32-bitcomputingsolution
for the industry's most demanding workstation applica-
tions.
Based on the Intel 430TX PCIset, the Thunderbolt sup-
ports the Pentium® processor with MMX™ technology,
whichprovidesasmootherandmorerealisticmultimedia
experienceandincreased32-bitperformance.Otherfea-
turesofthe430TXPCIsetincludeadvancedpowerman-
agement, Universal Serial Bus support, Ultra DMA/33
hard drive protocol (up to 33MBytes/sec transfer rate),
concurrent PCI and support for different memory types,
includingSynchronousDynamicRAMandExtendedData
OutRAM.
DesignedtofitintothemostmodernATXformfactor,the
flexibleThunderboltalsofeaturessupportforPCIandISA
slots and optional onboard sound. The ATX form factor
