LPC and ACÕ97 interfaces, and complies with the Advanced Power Management (APM) 1.2 specification. The SiS964 interconnects with the Northbridge at up to 1GB/s using the SiS proprietary MuTIOL¨ bus interface.

Real256E integrated graphics

Embedded in the Northbridge is the SiS Real256E integrated graphics with a 256-bit 3D engine and 2D graphics accelerator with a maximum 64MB shared display memory. The Real256E integrated graphics engine incorporates the UltraAGPIIª technology to provide a faster link between the built-in graphic engine and the northbridge memory controller. This technology boosts VGA throughput to up to 3.2 GB/s to bring clearer and sharper images for your multimedia and graphic-intensive applications. The Real256E integrated graphics achieves a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 at 32 bpp. See page 1-24.

Serial ATA technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces and the Intel¨ ICH6. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-27 for details.

Integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN controller

Onboard is the Realtek¨ LAN PHY that interconnects with the SiS964 southbridge LAN controller to fully support 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet networking. See page 1-23.

6-Channel Audio solution

The motherboard uses an onboard audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high- quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-23.

DDR400 Support

The motherboard supports up to 2 GB system memory using DDR400/ 333/266 non-ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to 3.2 GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 1-15 for details.
