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 1 Chapter 1 Introduction of V266A Motherboard 1-1 Feature of motherboard The V266A motherboard is design for use AMD Athlon XP/Duron/Athlon 200MHZ /266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus Frequency CPU, which utilize the Socket-A design and the memory size expandable to 2.0GB. This motherboard use the newest VIA KT-266A 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, PC-1600/PC-2100 DDR DRAM and PC100/PC133 SDRAM. The V266A motherboard offers ULTRA ATA 100 to provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance. This motherboard 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 6 USB function ports, the V266A meet future USB demand. This motherboard integrated Recovery Genius in BIOS protected your hard disk from virus crash hard disk data. The V266A motherboard provides CPU Ratio Setting by Jumper and special function in BIOS Setup to setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing, and CPU Vcore Voltage minor Adjustable in BIOS Setup let users to approach over clocking. V266A provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is really wise choice for your computer. 1-2 Specification 2 Spec Design Chipset CPU Socket Description ATX form factor 4 layers PCB size: 30.5x24.4cm VIA KT266A/VT8233 Chipset Support AMD Athlon 700MHz1.4GHz processor Support AMD Athlon XP 1500+2000+ processor Support AMD Duron 600MHz1.3GHz processor Support 200MHz/266MHz (Double Data Rate) Front Side Bus frequency processors Reserves support for future AMD processors 184-pin DDR module socket x2 Support PC1600/PC2100 DDR DRAM 168-pin SDRAM module socket x2 Support PC100/PC133 SDRAM 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 functions that deliver the data transfer rate up to 100 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 x4 (connecting cable option) Audio connector (Line-in, Line-out , MIC & Game Port) Memory Socket 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.
