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, Intel 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 Intel for use with Intel 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 Intel processors. For vendor list of heatsink and fan, please visit : http://developer.intel.com/design/Pentium4/components/index 1 Chapter 1 Introduction of P4XFA/P4MFA Motherboard 1-1 Feature of motherboard The P4XFA/P4MFA motherboard is design for use Intel Pentium 4 Processor in 478 Pin Package Processor with the VIA P4X266A/P4M266 Chipset delivers a high performance and professional desktop platform solution. Which utilize the Socket 478 design and the memory size expandable to 2.0GB. These motherboards use the newest VIA P4X266A/P4M266 Chipset. Supports 533MHz System Bus in data transfer rate for P4XFA, and 400MHz System Bus in data transfer rate in P4MFA. The motherboard provided 100MHz/133MHz Memory clock frequency, support PC133/PC100 SDRAM and DDR266/DDR200 DDR Module. The VIA VT8233A V-Link LPC South Bridge offer 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. The P4MFA integrated High Performance & High Quality 3D Accelerator supports UltraAGPII with 2GB/s bandwidth, built-in MPEG-2/1 Video Decoder and Video Accelerator supports VCD DVD HDTV decoding and playback, supports graphic and video overlay function. Built-in programmable 24-bit true-color RAMDAC up to 250MHz pixel clock. Programmable frame buffer size from 8MB and up to 64MB. For those wanting even greater graphic performance, an AGP 4X slot is included on the board, support AGP 2X/4X capability and Fast write Transaction. With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 4 USB function ports delivering 2x12Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, these motherboards meet future USB demand also has built-in hardware monitor function to monitor and protect your computer. A useful software tool "Magic BIOS" examines the BIOS version automatically with the correct version available on the web, links the site for users to download the latest version of BIOS and updates the BIOS. Use "Magic BIOS", users can download and update BIOS automatically and completed under the OS easily. These motherboards provide high performance & meets future specification demand. It is really wise choice for your computer. 2 1-2 Specification Spec Design Chipset Description ATX form factor 4 layers PCB size: 30.5x21.0cm VIA P4X266A North Bridge Chipset for P4XFA VIA P4M266 North Bridge Chipset for P4MFA VIA VT8233A South Bridge Chipset Support Intel Pentium 4 478 Pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) package processor Support 1.5G2.2G 478 Pin Pentium 4 processor Reserves support for future Intel Pentium 4 processors 168-pin SDR SDRAM module socket x1 and 184-pin DDR Module socket x 2 Support 1 pcs PC133/PC100 SDRAM Module expandable to 1.0GB, or 2 pcs DDR266/DDR200 DDR Modules Expandable to 2.0GB 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 Integrated High Performance & High Quality 3D Accelerator Support Ultra-AGPII with 2GB/s bandwidth Built-in programmable 24-bit true-color RAMDAC up to 250MHz pixel clock Programmable frame buffer size from 8MB and up to 64MB.
