Motherboard Description

SY-K7ADA V1.0

boosts the graphic benchmarks into another era for professional graphics usage. The M1647 design is capable of supporting 28 outstanding AGP commands (depth of command queue=28) and buffering 64QW for AGP master read operations.

The M1647 is fully compliant with the PCI 2.2 specification. Flexible PCI latency control allows the M1647 to achieve improved system performance.

The M1647 PCI host interface features a flexible PCI latency controller that allows a system to be tuned for the best system performance possible. The m1647 also features an enhanced PCI arbiter that implements a fair arbitration scheme based on a PCI and time slice mechanism. In addition to itself and the South Bridge, the M1647 can support up to six addition PCI masters. This gives designers the ultimate in flexibility when deciding what combination of PCI slots and on board PCI peripheral devices to use. One of these six PCI master channel can be assigned to a higher priority than other five PCI masters in order to fulfill the demands of some special real time devices, e.g. 1394 isochronous transmissions, when accessing main memory.

Dark Green Power Management functions such as Power on Suspend, Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk, PCI bus CLKRUN and Dynamic Clock Stop are all supported. The M1647 provides the most flexible power management capability available in any chipset.
