The mainboard supports all Socket-7 processors including newer designs which feature a 100 MHz system bus. The mainboard firmware supports CPU Plug and Play so that the system will automatically adopt the correct configuration for the Socket-7 processor that you install. The mainboard is highly integrated and includes a built-in PCI 3D Sound System and a built-in 3D AGP graphics adapter. The sound system supports 24-bit digital audio and a 4-way speaker system. The graphics system supports extended VGA resolutions with an 8MB frame buffer. Communications and networking are supported with a V.90 Fax/Modem DAA module and a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network adapter. The mainboard uses an ATX power supply and supports all of the ATX power management features including ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power management Interface), power saving modes and keyboard power on hot keys. The mainboard has a full set of ATX I/O ports and three expansion slots. It supports hardware monitoring and ships with trend's ChipAway Virus virus protection system. The board adheres to the micro-ATX form factor which permits an inexpensive system case and reduced power supply unit. !
