Overview

The S1598 Trinity ATX is a quality, high performance mainboard designed for Socket 7 microprocessors. This mainboard utilizes the VIA MVP3 100MHz AGPset and host bus speeds of 66MHz to 100MHz. For CPU speed support, please refer to the CPU Compatibility Chart in Tyan’s website (http://www.tyan.com/support/html/socket_7_compatibility.html). The Trinity ATX also has 100MHz Front Side Bus support, which allows you to take full advantage of 100MHz SDRAM memory modules.

The S1598 mainboard, with built-in AGP slot, provides high performance capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, and video production.

This system board achieves high reliability with numerous features and yet is small enough to be supported in an ATX form factor. Some of the features included are onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and UltraDMA/ 66, onboard floppy controller, and onboard high speed I/O. Flexibility and expandability have been designed into the Trinity ATX. With I/O and drive controller support built onboard, the one AGP slot, five PCI and two ISA slots (one shared, seven usable) are free for numerous add-on expansion cards.
