iv Chapter 1 Introducing the Mainboard Introduction Thank you for choosing the L4S5MG3 mainboard. This micro-ATX mainboard comes with the high performance SiS650GL/SiS651 Northbridge and SiS962 Southbridge chipsets. It accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors, which supports a frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 400/533 MHz. The SiS650GL/SiS651 Northbridge provides a high performance 2D/3D Graphic Engine, Video Accelerator and Advanced Hardware Acceleration MPEGI/MPEGII Video Decoder for the Intel Pentium 4 series based PC systems. It offers bandwidth up to 2.7GB/s under DDR333, 2GB/s under DDR266 and 1GB/s under PC 133 in order to sustain the bandwidth demand from host processor, as well as the multi I/O masters and AGP masters. The SiS962 Southbridge integrates one Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Host Controllers, the 1394a controller, audio controller with AC 97 interface, Ethernet MAC controller with standard MII interface, three Universal Serial Bus 1.1 Host Controllers and the IDE Master/Slave controllers. The mainboard has an advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, a high-speed serial port, a VGA port, an EPP/ECP capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector, a PS/2 keyboard, mouse and 1394a connectors. One AGP slot, three PCI local bus slots and one communication and networking riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards. Featuring good stability and performance, and the advanced SiS chipset, the L4S5MG3 is an excellent Pentium 4 DDR mainboard for the budget-conscious consumer. It is the ideal solution for any home or workstation PC.
