This mainboard integrates the SiS650GL Northbridge along with SiS961/962 Southbridge chipsets that support built-in AC97 Codec , 2 DDR + 2 SDR modules up to 2GB system memory, and provides Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. These chipsets' function is detailed as the Chipset description in next section. This mainboard integrates a 256-bit 3D/2D Graphics Engine, Video Accelerator and Advanced Hardware Acceleration MPEGI/MPEGII Video Decoder for the Intel Pentium 4 series based PC systems. It has the external AGP slot with AGP 4X 266MHz capability and the built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network Interface. In addition, this mainboard has a full set of I/O ports including two PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard, two serial ports, one parallel port, one MIDI/game port and six USB ports -- two back-panel ports, onboard USB headers providing four extra ports (they will support USB 2.0 if SiS962 SB installed on the mainboard), and IEEE 1394 ports (if SiS 962 SB installed). By means of the Extended USB Module connected to the mainboard, you can make four extra USB ports. This mainboard is ATX size and has power connectors for an ATX power supply and measures 305 x 244mm. 1 Mainboard User's Manual Key Features The key features of this mainboard include: Socket-478 Processor The PGA Socket 478 Supports Intel Pentium 4 series CPUs Supports up to 400 MHz Front-Side Bus Chipset There are SiS650GL Northbridge and SiS961/962 Southbridge in this chipset in accordance with an innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
