Introduction

This mainboard has a Socket 4 8 for the Intel Pentium 4 type of

processors supporting front side bus (FS ) speeds up to 400 MHz.

This mainboard has the VIA VT8 51(P4M266) Northbridge and

VT8233 Southbridge chipsets that support AC 9 audio codec,

and provide Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function. This mainboard has

two 32-bit PCI slots, one 4xAGP slot, one CNR (Communications

and Networking Riser) slot, and an onboard 10BaseT/100BaseTX

Network interface (optional). In addition, this mainboard has a full

set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard,

one serial port, one VGA port, one parallel port, one MIDI/game

port and six US ports (two backpanel ports, onboard US

headers providing four extra ports). y means of the Extended

US Module connected to the mainboard, you can make four extra

US ports.

This mainboard is a Micro ATX size mainboard and has power

connectors for an ATX power supply.

not have to compete for processor time with other devices

on the PCI bus.

AC 97 Audio Codec

The AC 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2

specification, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital

Converter) and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution

as well as 18-bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent

and variable sampling rates. Further features include

support for four analog line-level stereo inputs.

Expansion Options

The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:

Two 32-bit PCI slots capable of Ultra DMA bus mastering

with transfer rates of 33/66/100 M /sec
