Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor. When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors. For vendor list of heatsink and fan, please visit¡G http://www1.amd.com/products/duron/thermals http://www1.amd.com/products/athlon/thermals Chapter 1 1 Introduction of 868AS Motherboard 1-1 Feature of motherboard The 868AS motherboard is design for use AMD Athlon/Duron/Athlon XP 200MHZ /266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus Frequency CPU, which utilize the Socket-A design and the memory size expandable to 3.0GB. This motherboard use the newest VIA KT266A chipset which provides better performance than KT266 chipset, whose 133MHz/266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus frequency and 266MHz memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 266MHz processors and PC-1600/PC-2100 DDR DRAM. The 868AS motherboard offers ULTRA ATA 133 to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance. These motherboards also has an integrated AC'97 2.1 CODEC on board which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility. For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an AGP 4X slot is included on the board. With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB function ports, the 868AS meet future USB demand also this motherboard has built-in hardware monitor function. This will monitor and protect your computer. 868AS integrated Recovery Genius in BIOS protected your hard disk from virus crash hard disk data. In 868AS we design in CPU Vcore Voltage, DDR memory 2.5V Voltage, AGP 1.5V Voltage those can minor adjustable in BIOS setup. This design can let users approach over clock demand and also can make system more stable. The 868AS motherboard provides special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing let users to approach over clocking, and special design in hardware to protect BIOS from virus crash BIOS data. 868AS provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is really wise choice for your computer. 1-2 Specification 2 Spec Design Chipset CPU Socket Memory Socket Description ATX form factor 4 layers PCB size: 30.5x21.0cm VIA KT266A/VT8233A Chipset Support AMD Athlon 700MHz1.4GHz processor Support AMD Duron 600MHz1.3GHz processor Support AMD Athlon XP1500+~XP2000+ processor Support 200MHz/266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus frequency processors Reserves support for future AMD Athlon/Duron /Athlon XP processors 184-pin DDR module socket x3 Support DDR266/DDR200 DDR SDRAM Expandable to 3.0GB AGP slot x1 support AGP 2.0 & 4X mode 32-bit PCI slot x5 CNR slot x1 Two PCI IDE controllers support PCI Bus Mastering, ATA PIO/DMA and the ULTRA DMA 33/66/100/133 functions that deliver the data transfer rate up to 133 MB/s AC'97 Digital Audio controller integrated AC'97 Audio CODEC on board Audio driver and utility included Award 2MBit Flash ROM PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse connectors Floppy disk drive connector x1 Parallel port x1 Serial port x2 USB connector x2 USB headers x1 (connecting cable option) Audio connector (Line-in, Line-out , MIC & Game Port) Expansion Slot & Headers Integrate IDE Audio BIOS Multi I/O 1-3 Performance List 3 The following performance data list is the testing result of some popular benchmark testing programs.
