The AK77-600GN motherboard is AMDP Socket 462 motherboard P based on the ATX form featuring the VIA Apollo KT600 chipsetU . As high performance chipset built in the motherboard, this H TU TH motherboard comes with AMDP ® P Socket 462 series AthlonTM & DuronTM and AthlonXPTM processor (with CPU Overheat H TU TH Protection circuit to AthlonTMXP CPU only) and 200/266/333/400 MHz EV6U system bus. In the AGP performance, it has one AGP slot and supports AGP 8X/4X/2X mode and pipelined spilt-transaction long burst transfer up to 2.1GB/sec. With high bandwidth 266/533MB/s 8-bit V-Link Host Controller, DDR400U , DDR333U and DDR266U DDR RAM can be applied to this HTU TH HTU TH HTU TH motherboard and maximum memory size can be up to 3GB. The on-board IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133 mode and Serial ATAU 150 MB/s. On the H TU TH strength of RealTek LAN controller on board, it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use. Beside, this HTU motherboard TH U has a S/PDIF connector and an AC97U CODECU ALC650F chipset onboard to provide high performance and magic surround stereo sound to let people enjoy working with it. More than that, this motherboard supports HT U USB 2.0U function with a fancy speed of up to TH 480Mbps. Now, let's enjoy all features from AOpen AK77-600GN. 10 AK77-600GN Fea t ure Highlight CPU Online Manual Supports AMDP Socket 462 series CPU with 200/266/333/400 MHz EV6 Bus designed for Socket 462 technology. P ® Athlon: 600MHz~1.4GHz Duron: 600MHz~1.2GHz AthlonXP: 1500+ (1.33GHz) ~3200+ (2.2GHz) Chipset The VIA Apollo KT600 consists of the KT600 V-Link DDRU Host system controller and the VT8237 highly integrated V-Link Client HTU TH PCI/LPC controller. The Host system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, SDRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link interface with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The VT8237 V-Link Client controller is a highly integrated PCI/LPC controller. Its internal bus structure is based on 66MHz PCI bus that provides 8x bandwidth compare to previous generation PCI/ISA bridge chips. The VT8237 integrated Client V-Link controller with 266/533MB/s bandwidth between Host/Client V-Link interface, providing a V-Link-PCI and V-Link-LPC controller. Ultra DMA 66/100/133 Bus Master IDE Comes with an on-board PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices. 11 AK77-600GN LAN Port Online Manual On the strength of Realtek LAN controller on board, which is a highly-integrated Platform LAN Connect device, it provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet for office and home use. Expansion Slots Including five 32-bit/33MHz PCI and one AGP 8X/4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. All of them are master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus. The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)U specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. And the data transfer rate can be up to 2112MB/s. HTU TH Memory Provides three 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets that support DDR 400/333/266 composed of an arbitrary mixture of 64, 128, 256, 512 MB or 1GB RAM up to 3 GB maximum. On-board AC97 Sound AK77-600GN uses the AC97 CODECU RealTek ALC650F chip, which includes a complete audio recording and playback system. HTU TH Eight USB 2.0 Connectors Provides four ports on the back panel and two USBU 2.0 headers on board to connect USB interface devices, such as mouse, HT U TH keyboard, modem, scanner, etc. With fancy speed up to 480Mbps USB 2.0 is 40 times faster than the traditional ones. Except for the speed increase, USB 2.0 supports old USB 1.0/1.1 software and peripherals, offering impressive and even better compatibility to customers. 12 AK77-600GN 1MHz Stepping CPU Frequency Adjustment Online Manual HTU TH Provides "1MHz Stepping CPU Frequency Adjustment" function in the BIOS. This magic function allows you adjust CPU FSBU frequency from 100~248MHz by 1MHz stepping, and lets your system can get maximum performance. S/PDIF Connector S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is the newest audio transfer file format, which provides impressive quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of analog audio. Watch Dog ABS Includes AOpen "Watch Dog ABS" function that can auto-reset system in 4.8 seconds when you fail the system overclocking. Power Management/Plug and Play AK77-600GN supports the power management function that confirms to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-PlayU , which helps saving users from configuration problems, thus making the system much more user-friendly. HT U TH Hardware Monitoring Management Supports CPU or system fans status, temperature and voltage monitoring and alert, through the on-board hardware monitor module and AOpen Hardware Monitoring Utility. 13 AK77-600GN Qui ck I n sta l la ti on Pr oce dur e This page gives you a quick procedure on how to install your system.
