2.1The ASUS K7V Motherboard

The ASUS K7V motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants high-performance features in a small package.

2.1.1 Specifications

•AMD Athlon™ Processor Support: Supports AMD Athlon™ processors—

including 1GHz— designed for the AMD Athlon™

Processor Module (242-pin

Slot A).

 

• North Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT8371™

system controller supports a

200MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), supports up to 1.5GB of PC133/PC100 SDRAM/ Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) SDRAM, complies with AGP 2.0 specifications for 4X, 2X, and 1X AGP modes and PCI 2.2. bus interface with support for 5 PCI masters. It is optimized to deliver enhanced AMD Athlon™ processor system performance.

•South Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT82C686A PCIset with PCI Super I/O integrated peripheral controller supports UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 66.6MB/sec.

•EnhancedACPI &Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM), offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-infirmware-based vi- rus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup.

•PC133/PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to sup- port PC133/PC100-compliant SDRAMs or VCM SDRAMs (16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB) up to 1.5GB.

• 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.

•Thermal Sensor Connector with Optional Sensor: Accurately detects the CPU temperature with the ASUS Smart Fan when connected to an ASUS P2T-Cable.

•Super Multi-I/O:Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.

•Expansion Slots: Provides five 32-bit PCI 2.2, one AGP, and one AMR expan- sion slots. PCI supports up to 133MB/sec maximum throughput. Each PCI slot can support a Bus Master PCI card, such as a SCSI card.

•Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)

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

•AMR Slot: Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot supports a very affordable audio and/or modem riser card.
