2.1.1 Specifications

•Latest Intel Processor Support

Pentium® III

100/133MHz FSB

FC-PGA

Celeron™

66MHz FSB

FC-PGA

•North Bridge System Chipset: The Intel® 815E chipset supports a 66/100/133 Front Side Bus (FSB), up to 512MB of PC100/PC133 SDRAM, and AGP Pro/ 4X mode, which can transport twice the amount of data compared to the current AGP standard.

•South Bridge System Chipset: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) features support for UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/sec; two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports; and six channel AC97 CODEC support.

•Intel® Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub link between the ICH2 and GMCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec – twice the maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.

•PC100/PC133 Memory Support: Equipped with three Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support PC100/PC133-compliant SDRAMs (avail- able in 64, 128, 256, 512MB densities) up to 512MB.

•Integrated Graphics! The 24-bit 230MHz RAMDAC graphics controller sup- ports 3D hyper pipelined architecture, parallel data processing and compres- sion, precise pixel interpolation, full 2D hardware acceleration, and motion video acceleration. This graphics controller can be disabled to support an external AGP or PCI graphics card.

•AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that supports AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical applications using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus. Backward compatible to support AGP 4X and AGP 2X. This slot can also support an AGP Inline Memory Module (AIMM) for up to 4MB of 133MHz SDRAM display cache.

•UltraDMA33/66/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that support four IDE devices on two channels. Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 & 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.

•Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring, Keyboard Wake-Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.

• JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of frequency and Vcore voltage all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode is enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow manual adjustment of the processor’s external frequency.

•Onboard Audio: AC97 V2.1 compliant Audio Codec with 3D sound circuitry and sample rate conversion from 7kHz to 48kHz.
