Introduction

Expansion Slots

• 1 AGP slot

• 3 PCI slots

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)

AGP is an interface designed to support high performance 3D

graphics cards. It utilizes a dedicated pipeline to access system

memory for texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending. The universal

AGP slot supports AGP 4x with up to 1066MB/sec. bandwidth for

3D graphics applications. AGP in this system board will deliver faster

and better graphics to your PC.

Onboard Graphics Features

Introduction

Onboard Audio Features

• Supports Microsoft®DirectSound/DirectSound 3D

• AC’97 supported with full duplex, independent sample rate

converter for audio recording and playback

• S/PDIF-in/out compressed digital output

• 6-channel audio output via software

S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital

audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an

analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from

degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually

found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio

processing device.The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends

surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and

speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

6-channel Audio

The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only

when the audio utility is configured to support this function.The mic-

in at the rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.

Onboard LAN Features

IrDA Interface

The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless

connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The

IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data

transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.

USB Ports

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. USB 1.1

supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/

second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device trans-

fer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultane-

ously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

BIOS

• Award BIOS, Windows®98/2000/ME/XP Plug and Play

compatible

• Supports SCSI sequential boot-up

• Supports DMI 2.0 function

• 4Mbit flash memory

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The

DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information

about your system configuration and stores these information in the

DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play

BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is

designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of

computer systems easier. Refer to chapter 4 for instructions on using

the DMI utility.
